Product Details
Eighties beach shorts, done properly. The Valley Short sits high on the waist with a fitted shape and cheeky coverage, cut in FAE's Italian Baby Terry — the plush, textured knit that makes this read as resortwear rather than gymwear. Matcha is the soft green that works against every tan.

Fit & Sizing — Measure, Don't Guess
FAE is an Australian label. A FAE Large is a US 8–10. A Vitamin A Large is a US 12–14 — the same letter, four US sizes apart, on the same website.
| Size | US | AUS | Upper Hip | Lower Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large | 8–10 | 12 | 36" | 39" |
- Between sizes: size UP. FAE's own guidance.
- Upper hip is the measurement that matters on a high-waisted short — that is where it sits. Measure around the top of your bottom, tape parallel to the floor.
- Cheeky coverage, said plainly. This is a fitted mini short, not a boardshort. The back is cut short by design.
- Baby Terry has real body — it holds shape and skims rather than clinging, which is why this works as a short rather than reading as a swim bottom.
- Lined, so it works over a bikini bottom or on its own.
Sustainability
Italian Baby Terry is 85% recycled ECONYL® nylon — regenerated from post-consumer waste including ocean-recovered fishing nets — with 15% spandex for recovery. Among the highest recycled content in FAE's range.
New with tags. Curated, not manufactured to order.
Care
- Rinse in cold fresh water after any contact with salt or chlorine.
- Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Never machine wash.
- Press water out gently — never wring. Wringing crushes the terry pile.
- Dry flat in shade. Never a dryer, never direct sun.
- Avoid rough teak and concrete; terry snags more readily than flat nylon.
Who It's For
Anyone who wants a cover-up that is actually an outfit. High-waist wearers. Anyone drawn to texture over print. Anyone building a resort wardrobe rather than a beach one.
Who It's Not For
Anyone wanting full rear coverage. Anyone above a US 10. Anyone looking for a swim short to actually swim in — Baby Terry is a resort fabric.
