Cos × Tabata Shibori - Printed Drawstring Swim Shorts

Introducing COS × TABATA SHIBORI, an exclusive collaboration of artworks by artisan Kazuki Tabata that honour the traditional craft of Japanese shibori. The motif on these swim shorts is achieved using tesuji shibori, a technique wherein fabric is folded, bound by threads and dyed to achieve its signature stripes. They're designed with an elasticated drawstring waistband and a webbing loop at the back for hanging them out to dry post-swim. Style them with the matching shirt.

A brand whose aesthetic has been so influential that it’s hard to remember what went before. But when COS launched in 2007 against a backdrop of fast, trend-led fashion, its focus on minimal pieces at accessible prices was a breakthrough moment. With a focus on style over trend, it heralded a new era for interesting, modern, considered design and changed our wardrobes for the better, forever.
