Mada Short

These dark brown faux leather shorts feature a high-tension lace-up front with silver-tone hardware, grounding the piece in a distinctly nineties-meets-nightlife aesthetic. The cut is abbreviated and close to the body, relying on the structural rigidity of polyurethane to maintain a sharp, clean-lined silhouette against the hip.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed from 100% polyurethane, a petroleum-derived plastic polymer that lacks breathability and traps heat against the skin. Its synthetic nature poses risks of chemical migration during perspiration and contributes to microplastic shedding.
