Ladies' midi skirt

With its soft, flowing drape and comfortable, flared fit, this skirt, which is around ankle-length, creates an elegant, sweeping look, which is enhanced by the pleats at the front and back. The shaped waistband guarantees a good, flattering fit; it has a drawstring at the front, allowing the waist size to be individually adjusted. Care By Me makes the light and airy fabric from skin-friendly, organically grown cotton, which makes it even more comfortable to wear. The midi skirt fastens with a concealed zipper at the side. Two side pockets provide space for small everyday items.

Behind the Danish label Care By Me are designer Camilla Gullits and her business partner Pernille Pold. Their designs combine Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their aim is not only to offer high-quality and durable clothing and home textiles, but also to produce them in a resource-friendly and fair way. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles make up a large part of the national economy and, as in India, the production of textiles is traditionally in the hands of women. Care By Me therefore works with small workshops where women can learn and practise the traditional craft in order to provide them with a secure income. The new wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is also spun there. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation and Care By Me sources it from a GOTS and fair trade-certified partner company.
