Soft texture and the warmth of aged linen. This is a vintage pleated skirt made by the traditional handwork of the Miao ethnic minority in China. Handwoven natural linen is used, and hundreds of fine pleats are created by hand. It has amazing elasticity and moves softly as if breathing when you hold it. The fabric has aged to a deep indigo-black color, showing beautiful shadows depending on the angle of the light. This piece allows you to feel the well-worn texture and the gentleness of natural materials. It has an outstanding presence as an art piece, and is recommended not only as a fashion item, but also for store displays, textile collections, or as styling fabric for photography. Each piece has a different expression due to the handmade nature. The unique texture and small fraying of the vintage fabric are proof of the history this fabric has lived. Size (approx.)
