Silver Birch Stride Skirt

The Silver Birch Stride Skirt is modern in structure yet texturally reminiscent of the organic surface of the Silver Birch Tree. Sophisticated, yet softened by the organic nature of the fabric, this piece exudes a quiet confidence from every wearer and champions her self-expression. 

This classic piece can be worn with almost anything due to its minimalist clean form, however the enchanting textures make it truly unique. With a double ended exposed zip, the Stride Skirt can be adjusted from both the waist and hemline, so the wearer can adjust their stride and create their own style depending on the occasion.

Hand-crafted using upcycled remnants of fabric from the studio combined with embroidery, Tarmi created a fabric treatment that captures the contrast between the shimmering white outer layer of the tree against the dark cracks of internal bark.

Choice of lining dye colours are – White and Apricot or White and Peach

MAIN FABRIC
The Silver Birch fabric texture has been designed and created by Tarmi in her studio using appliqué and embroidery.

The base fabric is a Slub Silk Dupion. The natural variations that form the texture of the slub fabric compliment the appliqué and embroidery that has been inspired by the bark of a Silver Birch tree .

LINING FABRIC
Each skirt is fully lined in Silk Habotai. The dye pattern takes inspiration from the mushrooms on Tarmi’s art couture garment ‘Mycelium‘. The lining is hand dyed by Tarmi using the Japanese Shibori technique, Arashi. Also known as pole-wrapping shibori to create a wavy pattern within the colour.

COLOUR
Main – White. Lining – White and Apricot or White and Peach

ZIPPER
Exposed zip at front that allows adjustable stride. The zip can be unzipped from the bottom to half-way up depending on the amount of stride needed when walking. The zip also zips halfway down to allow the skirt to be pulled on.

FIT
