Crafted from the deconstructed remains of a pair of denim jeans, this skirt is a testament to the beauty of simplicity elevated through artful sewing techniques. What appears as a minimal silhouette unfolds into a detailed and intricate garment, boasting an array of subtle touches that embrace the utilitarian essence of the piece.
Notice the three draping straps strategically placed throughout—functional utility straps that also serve as aesthetic embellishments. The front showcases an elegant arched patch, housing a central pocket seamlessly woven into the seams. The backside unveils a duo of pockets alongside a draping tool loop, adding both style and functionality.
Embarking on the left-hand side, you'll discover two utility draping loops, accompanied by front pockets gracing both sides of the waist. It's a harmonious blend of form and function, where every stitch tells a story of thoughtful design and purposeful detailing.

CLEANING & CARE
Hand wash with warm water and laundry soap; avoid rough abrasions against the fabric. Gently wring out the wet garment. Hang it up to air dry. Since the material is thick, it may take some time for the garment to dry completely. Store the damp garment in a warm, dry area until it is fully dry. Once dry, you can press and steam it if necessary. You can also use starch to stiffen the material if desired
STORAGE
When the garment is dry and ready to be set aside for storage, you have two options: folding or hanging. Hanging is the preferred choice as it allows the fibers to naturally align with gravity and stay in sync with each other. However, if you choose to fold, keep in mind that denim holds creases well but may require steaming or pressing to remove any wrinkles.
For archival storage, fold the garment into a desired, even-sized square that fits inside an airtight vacuum-sealed bag. Once sealed, store it in light-tight containers, making sure there are no objects that can puncture the bag.
When you're ready to remove the garment from archival storage, release the air slowly, allowing the fabric to expand naturally without any irritation. Once the fabric has stopped expanding with air, open the bag and remove the clothing to hang. Hanging will naturally allow the fibers to align with the pattern and drape correctly. From there, you can proceed with the cleaning and drying process to prepare the garment for use.
