Skirt Akiko
Akiko is a skirt inspired by the umbrella.That is why we call it "The umbrella skirt".
Its style is a symbiosis between the workwear, because of its braces in a "ladder" style and the more casual-feminine style that comes from its wingspan.
The fabric is an absolute breakthrough! It is waterproof, windproof and 100% organic cotton.
Have you heard anything like this before? We hadn't either before we got this fabric in our hands.
The fabric is labelled EtaProof and has many innovative qualities - check for more in our materials list.
