Present for the first time at Playtime Paris this July, London brand Play is Work will showcase its capsule collection of of ethically sourced leather pieces. The designer Kaija Vogel has just enriched the range with great skirts, inspired by the traditional « foustanella » folk skirt, worn by men in Greece.
The lovely cotton wrap skirt will allow girls to twirl while growing beautifully : with over 5 meters of finely gathered fabric, it is designed to last for several years, adjusting as the child grows thanks to an elegant adjustable red ribbon waistband.
An ideal piece to eat in summer with a t-shirt, or to layer over tights and the Play is Work leather vest in cold weather.
In long or short version – One size fits all (age 2 to 10), available in various colours (blue, yellow, red and green) – Easy to care, just roll it up and give it twist to restore the original creases.
