Upcycled Light Blue Denim Flared Skirt - Lace-Up Patchwork, Handmade in Japan

Layers of soft, faded blue come together in a light, easy flared skirt. It sways gently with every step, adding a quiet little touch of something special to an ordinary day. ▶Overview Pieces of light blue denim, each with its own faded character, are joined together one by one, so that even within these pale tones you can feel a gentle sense of shade and depth. The lace-up waist and the pockets from the original jeans are kept and worked into a moving, asymmetric hemline. Casual, and yet somehow special — that is the feeling of this flared skirt. Product No. 086 ▶Craftsmanship On nearly all of the panels, the reverse side is finished with rounded corners and an overlock (serged) stitch. It is a step that is often skipped in denim rework, but I feel it is essential for comfort and for lasting wear. Waistbands and pockets from the original jeans are placed upside down or in unexpected directions, so the character that only second-hand denim carries stays alive in the design. There is a lot more care tucked into the color combinations and the small details, too — much of it comes through best in the photos, so I hope you will take your time looking through them. ▶Features • Comfortable elastic waistband • Lace-up detail at the waist • Original jeans pockets kept as design details • Distressed details (rips and raw edges) that add character • Some distressed areas are a little open, so a bit of skin may show through • Uneven, asymmetric flared hem • Unlined • A one-of-a-kind upcycled piece ▶Material Made from second-hand denim — mainly cotton, with some polyester, rayon and a little polyurethane.
