Akon Shorts — Kenyan Goat Suede
The Akon Shorts are crafted from thin Kenyan goat suede — selected for its softness, lightness, and ability to evolve beautifully with wear.
Part of the VAST unisex collection, the silhouette is relaxed and intentionally loose, designed to sit either on the hips or higher on the waist depending on personal styling. The supple suede allows the shorts to fall away from the body rather than cling, creating an effortless, fluid feel.
Unlined for lightness and breathability, the material sits naturally against the skin while remaining airy and comfortable, softening further over time. A tie waist adds adjustability, while two generous side pockets bring both function and ease.
Versatile in nature, the Akon Shorts can be styled casually or dressed up — the richness of the suede elevating even the simplest pairing.
A piece defined by comfort, texture, and conscious craftsmanship.

Dry Clean Only.
Brush Regularly, use a suede brush to keep the jacket looking fresh. Gently brush in one direction to remove dust and restore the nap (the soft texture of the suede). Protect from water, our goat suede is sensitive to moisture. If you get caught in the rain, let the jacket air dry naturally, never use direct heat. Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water stains. Store with care, keep your suede piece in a cool, dry place. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape and avoid plastic covers that can trap moisture. Handle stains promptly, for small stains, use a clean, dry cloth to blot (not rub) the area. If in doubt, take it to a professional cleaner. By following these tips, your VAST suede piece will remain a timeless addition to your wardrobe.
