This skirt is an example of hippy style. They are made in Nepal for a Western market. However, they are listed as being representative of Nepalese design as these skirts are made from either recycled Nepalese saris or modern, fair trade produced Nepalese sari silk. As such, many of these skirts are the ultimate in moral fashion practices, as they repurpose vintage silk into modern clothing - making them the most environmentally friendly clothes available. Likewise, they are made by Nepalese tradespeople, thus maintaining traditional textile skills while also giving working class people access to employment. And because the manufacturers use slow fashion practices (they do not keep clothes in stock, they only make the clothes once they receive an order, and they utilise strict quality standards are met as they use vintage fabrics) it prevents the establishment of sweat shops and other horrific manufacturing processes that destroy the lives and cultures of working people in economically developing nations!

So you can purchase these utterly gorgeous and one of a kind silk skirts knowing that you are supporting not only Nepalese workers, but also Nepalese communities who benefit from legitimate investment in their people, while also wearing the most environmentally friendly type of clothing and also putting money back into the Australian economy by choosing to purchase from a small business! This is the ultimate example of the power fashion has to positively impact the lives of people all around the world while also addressing environmental standards. And after all that, you get a skirt that is fully reversible (so you are effectively getting two skirts for the price of one), that is beyond beautiful, is a dream to wear and embodies designs and motifs traditional to Nepalese culture!

There is simply nothing other than beauty and positive impacts associated with these skirts. And they all pair beautifully with our hippy style shirts, also made in Nepal.
