Ready for adventure. Our children's kikoy beach shorts are made from lightweight, quick-drying kikoy cotton that's breathable and easy to wear, with a broad stripe down each side and a colour to suit every personality.
They sit just above the knee, with an easy pull-on waist, an elasticated drawstring and handy pockets, and there's no lining to get in the way. Wear them on the beach, at bedtime, or on any everyday adventure, with a favourite T-shirt.
Choose from a big, bright range of colours, from Navy Lime and Mandarin Orange to Mulberry, Pale Pink and Spring Green, in sizes from 2 years to 11–12 years.
Every pair is handmade by our tailors in Watamu, Kenya, and every purchase helps fund Bluebells School.

SIZING & CARE
We cut generously to allow for the slight natural shrinkage of this loose-weave fabric, and kikoys are designed for a relaxed, casual look rather than a structured one. If you're between sizes, we'd recommend going up. Not every colour is shown on our models, so do check the sizing chart, or get in touch and we'll happily help.

We cut generously to 'allow' for a slight natural 'shrinkage' of this loose weave fabric. Kikoys are NOT designed to be 'structured', but rather a casual, relaxed look. If in doubt we recommend going up a size. Call us if we can be of any further help?
My sons (aged 10 and 7) adore their Bushbells kikoy shorts and wear them everywhere! So colourful and stylish, way more fun than jeans or joggers. We love that the profits help to build and support schools in Kenya too." Hannah, Wiltshire
