Slaney Skirt Pre-sale
Our pricing
Our pricing
Above you will see the Precious Gift Price (subsidised by the sale of the Precious Coats), and the Precious True Price, which reflects the true cost of making each garment. All we ask of you is that you pay what you can afford. If you genuinely want to change your fashion consumption habits, buy better and less frequently, but if price is a real barrier, then pay the subsidised Precious Gift Price. If you have a bit more disposable income and can pay the full Precious True Price, then we would be so grateful.

The garments are currently being manufactured in Auckland, and we hope to have them ready to distribute by mid May. We will be in touch when we have shipped your garment. Thank you for your business.
Your skirt sits a little low on the waist, for comfort, and with a deep waistband and yoke line on the back which gives your bum a lovely shape. At the front the yoke line runs into the front pocket line and up to the front waistband where the closure is two parts, buttoned, to avoid the need for a zipper and to make minor waist adjustment easier. The pockets are styled the same as our pants, well placed pockets: not to encourage a pocket slump but to store the items you need to carry with you.
And the body of the skirt balloons slightly into a very flattering, flowing shape, allowing for a lot of swishing about and good pair of thighs! Beyond that, you can choose to buy a size down and wear the skirt on your waist, it will look just as good.
The hemline is on the knee, the most flattering length, and the seamlines at the hem are straight to allow for ease of lengthening or shortening.
The skirt is made from ‘Eske’ - Blue & Black Herringbone, Flecked Donegal Tweed, manufactured using 100% Pure New Wool. It incorporates a flecked yarn which results in a wide colour palette so you can style it with most other colours. We’ve gone for a dark, consistently stylish, navy base with a multicoloured collection of flecks in a herringbone weave. The result is a fabric which doesn’t shout too loud but which gives a solid sense of style: a style statement for the entire outfit. It is fully lined with TENCEL known for its softness, durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.
Fabric & Lining
Fabric & Lining
Fabric - Eske - Navy & Blue Herringbone, Flecked Donegal Tweed from Magees, Donegal, Ireland.
Lining - Monte 100% TENCEL (TM) twill, made in Korea. Tencel (TM) is a sustainable, soft fibre derived from wood pulp, typically from eucalyptus trees. It's a semi-synthetic fabric made using a closed-loop process that minimizes environmental impact. TENCEL is known for its softness, durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Our TENCEL linings are sourced from Fabric Merchants in Auckland from their range of deadstock fabrics, sourced from Korea so the colour may vary with each production run.
Fit

The skirt is sized on the hip measurement, same as the women's fit pants, so to find your size, measure your hips at the widest point and check the table below.
The skirt waist sits on the navel, slightly dropped, but you can also wear it at the waist. Check the actual garment measurements against your body if you'd like to do this, adding about 2-3 cm for ease.
Please note that while we do our best to control all measurements, the fabrication and individual construction of each garment means that minor variances to the measurements listed above can occur.
