The Sun pleat we've been dreaming about for a long time... Irregular pleats (thin at the top that open onto wider pleats at the bottom) that give this aerial fall with ease and that we're just starting to decline in our favorite colors.. 🌈
Craftsmanship...
Our challenge was to offer you this piece at a fair price without selling off the work of the craftsman at work :) It was in Italy, near Milan and within a family business that we found a pleating craftsman with golden hands . Once the fabric is pleated (under the Italian sun ☀️), it is our faithful Parisian designer who takes care of assembling the skirt in our workshops. 🇬🇧
The sun pleat owes its name to the shape of the cardboard in which it is folded. A large piece of cardboard whose very small folds in the center flare out in increasingly wide rays, from 70cm at the waist we reach more than 2m50 at the bottom of the fabric! The fabric, clamped between two flat sun cardboard boxes, is then picked up in a fan, fold by fold, then heated for a day at 100 degrees to guarantee pleats that last for life!
For this first collection, our Pleated Sun is available in 4 favorite colors: From basic black, blue and pastel pink to a Maxi floral print 💕
Hoping this new skirt will make you spin, spin, spin all year round 💃
