Emily – a pencil skirt: a straight line, a soft knit
A pencil skirt in a fine linen-cotton rib, with a slit at the back. The slit does not have to stay at the back – you can wear the skirt with it at the side or at the front.
Fine linen-cotton rib with real stretch – it follows the figure without gripping it, so your usual size is the right one.
Linen regulates: it cools when the day is hot and holds the warmth when it turns. This is not only a summer piece.
Three women's sizes, S to L. Made to pair with the matching Emily top.
Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own – fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit.
It is hand-finished – hand-steamed over a shaped pad and washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.
I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania – a few at a time, never off a production line.
Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed – I check each one myself before it goes out.
It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else – no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving – I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.
Color – gray.
