The Cummerbund Skirt does not complete an outfit. She transforms it.

This version is cut from 100% African wax print fabric, bold, alive, and rooted in a textile tradition that has moved across the continent and its diaspora for generations. Deep wine, burnt orange, and a whisper of white move across the surface in a pattern that carries its own history. She does not whisper. She never has.

Worn over a dress, layered over trousers, or wrapped around the simplest outfit you own, she changes everything. Chic. Sophisticated. Carrying history without being weighted by it.

The waistband is 10cm deep, fused with mediumweight interlining for a defined, structured hold. The 10cm-wide tie extends 115cm, passing through an opening at the mid-right side seam before wrapping around the body to create a silhouette that is both architectural and deeply personal. No two women will tie her the same way. That is the point.

The skirt falls in a structured arc, longest at 8.5 inches, shortest at 6 inches below the waistband seam, a deliberate asymmetry that moves with the body. The wax print pattern shifts with the light and the movement, never quite the same twice.

The skirt and lining are both fused, heavyweight at the skirt, medium weight at the waistband and tie, for a finish that holds its shape from the first wearing to the last. The lining is 100% black cotton, cut clean and finished to the same standard as the shell.

She is the piece that makes the rest of your wardrobe feel like Foundation 5.
