Fit, Feel & Style

These leather paperbag shorts are expertly tailored for a sophisticated, high-waist fit that elongates the legs and creates a flattering silhouette. The standout feature is the signature paperbag waist—a gathered, cinched design that adds volume and visual interest while accentuating the waist for a polished, feminine look. The relaxed fit through the legs creates a graceful drape that flatters the figure while providing comfortable ease of movement. Functional side pockets add practical convenience, and the mid-thigh length offers refined coverage. The supple leather feels luxurious and comfortable throughout the day, while premium hardware ensures a refined finish. Incredibly versatile, these shorts pair beautifully with tucked-in silk blouses and heels for sophisticated office style, with fitted bodysuits and blazers for elegant evening wear, with crisp white shirts and loafers for smart-casual looks, or with casual knits and sneakers for elevated weekend style. The sleek black leather and paperbag waist detail make them a statement piece—equally at home for business meetings, lunch dates, gallery openings, brunch events, or upscale casual occasions.

Size Guide

Please refer to our detailed size chart to find your perfect fit. We recommend measuring your waist, hips, and inseam for the most accurate sizing. These paperbag shorts are designed with a true-to-size high-waist fit with a relaxed leg—the gathered waist provides comfortable ease. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. Each pair is made to order, allowing us to ensure proper fit and finish tailored to your measurements.

Premium Material Quality

Crafted exclusively from 100% full-grain leather—the highest quality leather available—these paperbag shorts showcase the natural beauty and exceptional durability of premium hides. Full-grain leather retains all the original grain patterns and strongest fibers, unlike corrected-grain or bonded alternatives, ensuring superior longevity and a rich patina that develops beautifully over time. The deep black color is achieved through traditional tanning processes that preserve the leather's natural texture, breathability, and suppleness. The interior features a smooth, comfortable lining that feels luxurious against the skin, while reinforced stitching at stress points and the gathered waist guarantees lasting wear. This is an investment in timeless style—paperbag shorts designed to become a signature piece in your professional and social wardrobe for years to come.

Care Instructions

Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a leather-specific cleaner following manufacturer instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive water, or machine washing. Take care around the gathered waist area.
Storage: Hang on a skirt hanger to maintain the paperbag waist structure, or fold carefully. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage—never plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every 6-12 months to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to absorb fully before wearing. This will help maintain the paperbag waist structure.
