- This blue themed mirror work inlaid skirt is totally unique, as hand done mirror work is incredibly hard to find nowadays; was reconstructed from a hand embroidered vintage quilt.
- Sourced from female artisans in rural India.
- Each piece has a unique combination of fabric and patches that reflects the personality of the artisan. Beautiful vintage fabrics come together to create an expression of art and individuality.
- Why we made skirts from repurposed quilts: This reduces textile waste, supports artisans and sustains textile arts. You cannot get better than that for sustainable fashion.
