The same piece in another colour, one for each half of the trip.
Designed to make warm-weather dressing feel effortless, the Florence shorts combine a flattering silhouette with all-day comfort. Light, breathable and softly structured, they sit neatly at the waist before falling into a gentle flare that creates a beautifully feminine shape.
Crafted from a soft linen–rayon blend, they feel light against the skin while maintaining their shape throughout the day. A concealed side zip keeps the finish clean, while the elasticated back waistband provides all-day comfort without compromising the tailored fit.
The softly flared leg allows for ease of movement while creating a refined silhouette that's as comfortable sitting as it is walking. Thoughtfully designed to pair with every Honu Bay top, Florence is a versatile staple you'll reach for time and time again, whether you're dressing for lunch, evenings out or everyday summer plans.
Available in Sand and Taupe.
Sizes XS to L (UK 6 to 14), graded from real body measurements. If you’re between sizes, the size guide has a note on which way to go for each piece.
A breathable linen and rayon blend with zero polyester. Machine wash cool or hand wash, lay flat to dry, and steam to bring it back to crisp.

Designer's notes
These shorts are my absolute favourites. They came from years of frustration with shopping for holiday shorts. Everything seemed too tight around the waist or legs, made from synthetic fabrics, or just generally unflattering.
Florence is designed to be the ultimate hot-weather short, with a universally flattering flared silhouette that feels light and airy, and an elasticated waistband that offers a little extra comfort after long lunches or beach club afternoons.
The belt loops mean you can add your favourite belt to dress them up or down, with bound edges and generous pockets so you'll never lose your room key.

What size should I order?
Our sizes run XS to L (UK 6 to 14) and are graded from real body measurements: waist 25", 27", 29" and 31". Check the size guide; if you’re between sizes on the Florence shorts we recommend sizing down.
What is the fabric?
A breathable linen and rayon blend. No polyester. It has the drape and coolness of linen without the heavy crushing, so it survives a suitcase.
Do the top and bottom match exactly?
Yes. Each colour is cut and dyed as a set, so a Taupe top and Taupe bottom are the same shade in the same fabric. You can also buy either piece on its own.
How fast is delivery?
European tracked delivery — 4–8 business days. We dispatch within 24 to 48 hours from our UK warehouse and email tracking as soon as your parcel is on its way. Full details on the delivery page.
What if it doesn’t fit?
Return it within 14 days of delivery for store credit or a refund. Items need to be unworn with tags attached. Returns information.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash cool or hand wash, and lay flat to dry. A quick steam brings the linen blend back to crisp.
