Overview
The Ashley Knee Skirt is part of our Spring and Summer line. This collection was designed for warm air or a sea salt breeze. Made in Peru from a soft and structured blend of Tanguis cotton and rayon, this skirt moves with you. It is breezy, breathable, and effortlessly refined.
With a feminine silhouette and just the right amount of swing, the Ashley Skirt is perfect for days when you want to feel polished but free. Pair it with the Sarah Crop Top or a simple tank. It fits beautifully into every moment, from seaside walks to slow mornings to summer dinners.
Part of the Boardroom to Boardwalk Collection
Launched in August, this collection honors growth beneath the surface, soft resilience, emotional bloom, and winter's quiet rituals. Each piece is hand-knit in Peru by women-led artisan workshops using 100% certified baby alpaca.

How to Wear Your Story
Every piece is designed to adapt to your life, your moods, and your moments. Here's how to make it uniquely yours.
Date night
Complement the Foliage Skirt with boots and the Rose Sweater
Running Errands
Comfortable enough to wear with a cotton shirt and some sneakers
Your Winter of Becoming
This isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how you move through change. Each piece in Blossom in Winter is made to steady you through transition, and remind you of resilience and grace.
Layer with Calm
Add the Rose Sweater over a dress or beneath a coat when the air turns crisp. Each layer gives you warmth and softness you can feel, and a calm start before you step out.
Trust Your Season
Some days call for the Foliage Scarf, others for the lightness of the skirt. Choose what feels right for your body that day. The pieces are made to adapt, not demand.
Wear Your Renewal
These aren’t clothes to perform in, they’re meant to live with you. Whether you’re staying in or stepping forward, wear them as you’re evolving, at your own pace.
How the Ashley Knee Skirt Compares
Feature | Ashley Knee Skirt | Typical Premium Skirt |
|---|---|---|
Material | Tanguis Cotton & Rayon – breathable, soft, with natural stretch | Conventional cotton or synthetic blends (polyester, acrylic) |
Craftsmanship | Small-batch, machine-knit on high-grade industrial knitting machines | Mass-produced in minutes |
Production Scale | Only 40 were made across all sizes and colors | Thousands made per style |
Ethical Standards | Transparent sourcing, fair wages, women-led workshops in Peru | Often unclear or unverified |
Longevity | Holds shape, resists pilling, designed to last through warm seasons | May stretch, fade, or lose shape quickly |
Why Craft Still Matters
Though the Ashley Skirt is made using a high quality industrial knitting machine, we work in small batches and partner with artisans who prioritize care, intention, and lasting quality. We avoid mass production and fast fashion shortcuts. Every skirt is made with natural breathable materials and finished with love.
Size & Fit
The Ashley Knee Skirt comes in three sizes with a flexible elastic waistband and natural drape.
Fit tip: Choose your usual size for a comfortable and easy fit.
Size | Waist | Length |
|---|---|---|
XS and S | 24" | 21" |
M | 26" | 21" |
L and XL | 28" | 22" |
Fit Tip: The Ashley Knee Skirt is designed to sit comfortably at your natural waist and fall just above or at the knee, depending on your height. It has a soft structure that drapes gently without clinging — flattering for a wide range of body types.
Fit guidance:
✔ True to size with a relaxed waistband
✔ If between sizes, size down for a snugger waist or up for a breezier fit
✔ Designed to pair easily with tucked-in tops or cropped styles like the Sarah Crop Top
