bartaco X Fair Harbor
Like golden sunshine and ocean breezes, we think tacos and margaritas are the perfect summer combination. When the temperatures rise and we’re looking to refresh our senses and taste buds, you’ll find us parked at our favorite local taqueria, bartaco. Our friends at bartaco have perfected an easy vibe inspired by the beach cultures of Brazil, Uruguay, and Southern California, so we designed our bartaco X Fair Harbor Collaboration shorts to channel that same laidback coastal feeling.
Our bartaco Swim Collection is available in two colors on our cool and classic Bayberry Trunk. Whether you choose the nautical Blue + White Stripe or the playful Dragonfly Print, you’ll enjoy the ease of our signature BreezeKnit ™ liner, a 7-inch inseam, and performance fabric on a tailored silhouette.
If you can’t get to a bartaco to enjoy the tangy taste of their classic margarita or fresh new lobster taco, you’re in luck. They’ve shared their secret recipes with us so you can make them at home this holiday weekend—and all summer long.
Cheers to the sunny days and taste adventures ahead!
