Description:
Handmade in the 1970s, these cream-colored crochet shorts are a rare textile treasure — delicately embroidered with wildflower-like motifs in vibrant pinks, yellows, sage, and red. The floral detailing is raised in a tactile tufted yarn, suggesting the look and feel of crewelwork. Each bloom mirrors its pair across the center seam, lending a soft symmetry to the otherwise organic stitchwork.

Made from a wool blend and finished with scalloped hems, this one-of-a-kind piece was likely crafted by hand and worn with care. The shorts sit high at the waist and hug gently through the hip, with a modest 2" inseam. A sculptural, collectible garment that merges comfort with an artful folk sensibility.

Laundered and in excellent vintage condition.
