Ladies' skirt - eyelet embroidery

This calf-length midi skirt - wonderfully airy, light and wonderfully comfortable - is the perfect companion for the summer. Care By Me is made from skin-friendly, organically grown cotton. The fabric features an openwork pattern of delicately embroidered holes arranged in floral and geometric shapes. The textile technique is known as broderie anglaise (English embroidery). Although it originated in Eastern Europe, it was particularly popular in England in the 19th century and conquered the catwalks of the world from there. The delicate eyelet embroidery gives the skirt an elegant and feminine touch. Its flared cut flatters every figure, the gathered tier provides plenty of swing and the elasticated waistband makes it more comfortable to wear. The skirt has a cotton lining up to the knee for a more opaque look. Two side pockets are invisibly inserted into the side seam.

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.
