The Leather Cage Skirt - Custom Order

Description

It's finally here, the Leather Cage skirt! This piece is a collaboration between myself and Marc Simard of http://www.broundoor.etsy.com Marc has been working with leather for over 3 years and is a good friend of mine, so I thought he was the perfect person to go to when I decided I wanted to create a leather version of the cage skirt.

Marc uses only recycled and off-cut leather in his work, believing that instead of excess, unused leather from large manufacturers going into landfills, it could be used in small-scale, artisanal manufacturing. Because of the way the leather is sourced, colours are very limited so we will be adding new colour options often. Sometimes there is only enough of a certain colour to make 1 or 2 skirts!

We first made this skirt for Susie of www.stylebubble.typepad.com (check of the lovely girl herself in image 1) in the dusty pink colour. We're currently launching this skirt in a few different leather options (see image 5) and will be launching three limited edition colours this October at Topshop Oxford Circus as part of their fall EDIT concession (read about last seasons here: http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2009/01/departmentising.html )

Made of sturdy medium weight leather and held together with steel rivets, the rigidity of this skirt makes it perfect for someone who likes to get creative with their layering and mix hard and soft textures together.

The skirt closes at the front with a metal teeth zipper and a tab/snap closure at the waist. The taping of the zipper will match whatever leather colour you choose to go with.

Your custom skirt will be made to your own personal waist & hip measurements, the length of the skirt will be standard at 17". Since this item is custom made to your measurements it may take from a couple days up to 3 weeks to complete, depending on Marcs workload. We'll do our best to get it to you ASAP, just keep in mind that this piece is made by hand just for you, so a little time is necessary ;)

The info we need from you:

-Colour: See image 5 for colour options

-Studs/Snaps: antique brass or silver

-Zipper: We will choose a zipper with taping that matches the leather colour and zipper teeth that match the stud colour

Measurements: Waist (at true waist)
Hip (at widest point)
