Aba Skirt

A high-waisted handwoven cotton skirt with a diagonal brass-ring hem, falling into tiers of raffia fringe that trail to the floor.

The Aba Skirt is fitted and clean above, wild below. A high waist and a smooth handwoven cotton body in deep mustard yellow hold the line down the hip, until the hem cuts away on a diagonal, outlined in brass rings. From that edge, tiers of raffia fringe fall and layer, gathering volume as they descend. Wear it with the Tobi Bralette as a set, or with something plain. Handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár’s artisans.

WEIGHT: The brass ring hardware and layered raffia make this skirt heavier than it looks. 

STRUCTURE: The waist is fitted and does not stretch. If you are between sizes, size up.

FABRIC CARE: Dry clean recommended. Do not iron directly over the raffia or brass; steam the fringe gently if needed. Keep brass away from moisture and perfume. Store hanging so the fringe tiers aren’t compressed. See the Care tab on this page for full guidance.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Is the Aba Skirt true to size?
The waist is fitted and does not stretch, so check your waist and hip measurements against the size guide at kilentar.com/pages/size-chart. If you are between sizes, size up. Contact hello@kilentar.com if you are unsure.

How heavy is the Aba Skirt?
The brass rings and layered raffia tiers make it heavier than it looks, so it hangs with real weight.

What length is the Aba Skirt?
The hem is asymmetric, with raffia tiers extending well below the cotton body to the floor. Consider your heel height when ordering. Contact hello@kilentar.com about a custom length. [PENDING: shortest and longest point in cm]

How do I care for the Aba Skirt?
Dry clean recommended. Never iron over the raffia or brass; steam the fringe gently. Keep the brass away from moisture and perfume, and store the skirt hanging.

How long does it take to make the Aba Skirt?
