About Your Handmade Item:
Made to order - Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery
This lavender colored skirt is constructed with fabric made of 50% wool / 35% viscose rayon (this fiber helps the fabric feel soft and smooth) / 15% polyester. It falls beautifully in folds and is fully lined to give the skirt structure.
It has a flattering high-waisted waistband that fastens with a hook, with a back zipper.
The default length of the skirt is 29", but it can be customized to your desired length as a maxi skirt, midi skirt or knee length skirt.
Select "I would like a skirt longer or shorter" and just send your length to kate@sweetviolet.co, or I will contact you immediately after you order to get your desired length.
Please note that you can have this skirt made in any of my other fabrics (depending on availability) including black wool, plaid wool and blue sanded satin. To see how these fabrics look made into a skirt, browse the other skirts at the bottom of this page.
The purple wool fabric is from a supplier who specializes in "deadstock" - unwanted fabric from the fashion industry that would otherwise go to waste. The company has great sustainability principles and even ships the fabric in biodegradable organic-based packaging instead of plastic. The lining fabric is made in the USA, which cuts down on transport emissions as most fabrics are shipped from overseas.
As a designer, my goal is to promote Slow Fashion by creating completely handmade items with high quality materials, while striving to reduce waste and implement sustainability into my fashion business.
The products I make are not the same as those made in a factory, they are born out of a lifelong creative passion. You can be sure that your handmade skirt is made in a home studio, by my own hands, using traditional and slow fashion methods with the aim of lasting for many years to come.
