Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi, Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural, high-quality materials (cotton, wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe. Named after the Abstract Expressionist artist Jackson Pollock, these shorts reimagine the best selling Duinen style in raw organic cotton denim. With an elasticated waist and high-rise, wide-leg fit, they feature contrast topstitching in Ochre and are embroidered with an 'M' for Merlette on the coin pocket.
