We are obsessed with how wearable this garment is! Gorgeous as a midi length, high waisted skirt, or you can pull it up & tie in the matching straps to wear as a breezy knee-length dress (depending on your height of course ;-)! Hand loomed Nepalese cotton keeps you cool in the hottest Texas summer heat. Or layer it up with boots, sweater, and our Nabina Quilted Jacket for the coldest Himalayan winter. And, because everything should have pockets, these have deep hidden pockets that can be used in both skirt & dress styling.
Flexible sizing for the many stages of our lives ♥️
Thoughtfully designed by Bibi, in Austin, Texas. Ethically handcrafted by our amazing Fair Trade partners in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Named after the incredible, Padmasana, founder & leader of our partner women's collective in Nepal. Padmasana has dedicated her life to lifting up her community & the women in it, who would not otherwise have opportunities for work. She is one of the strongest & most accomplished people we know, and we are humbled to have the opportunity to work with her.
Details
100% hand loomed cotton
100% botanical plant dyes
- elastic waist with drawstring for extra fit options
- can be worn high waisted or low
- waist gathering is adjustable to add/remove volume where you want it
- matching straps with triangle finishings are included, to tie into the hidden loops & wear as a dress (you can play with how you wear the straps too: parallel, cross back, halter neck, have fun!)
- hidden inseam pockets placed at a height accessible when worn as both skirt & dress
- 2" bottom hem for adjustable length (we know you can always take a hem up, but letting down a hem is usually impossible!)
We love wearing this as a skirt or dress with any of our tops: the Aarti Reversible Top/Vest, Krishna Button-Up, Simran Wrap Top, & Patan Top
The women of our incredible partner collective in Nepal handloom the cotton, then color that fabric with gentle dyes, and finally hand make each piece. This hand loomed cotton just gets softer & comfier with wear.
Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process.
Thank you for supporting ethical & sustainable fashion!
