Mia Skirt

A low-rise beaded mini skirt in red, amber and burgundy, with cultivated water mussel shell discs and a swinging fringe of beaded drops at the hem.

The Mia Skirt is built in bands. From the low waist to the hem, rows of elongated red beads sit beside rows of amber and burgundy, broken at the hip by a line of pale cultivated water mussel shell discs. At the hem, strands of small beads hang free, so the skirt moves and clicks softly with each step. The beads are a mix of glass, wood and stone, so each row catches the light differently. It is short, close to the body and full of weight. Wear it with the Mia Top as a set, or with something plain. Handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár’s artisans.

WEIGHT: The skirt is beaded across its full surface and is significantly heavier than it looks in photography. 

FABRIC CARE: Dry clean only. Do not hand wash, as wood, stone and shell beadwork needs professional care. Keep away from water and perfume. Store flat and never fold the beaded surface. Handle with care to avoid snagging the hanging beads. See the Care tab on this page for full guidance.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Is the Mia Skirt true to size?
It’s a low-rise, close-fitting mini. Check your waist, hip and length 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. [CONFIRM: true to size and stretch]

How heavy is the Mia Skirt?
It’s significantly heavier than it looks, because beads cover the full surface. [PENDING: weight]

Will every Mia Skirt look the same?
Each bead is individual, in glass, wood or stone, and the shell discs are natural, so slight variations in colour, grain and surface are part of the material, not a flaw.

How do I care for the Mia Skirt?
Dry clean only. Never hand wash, keep it away from water and perfume, and store flat without folding the beaded surface.

How long does it take to make the Mia Skirt?
Every Kíléntár piece is handcrafted to order. Please allow [PENDING] to process your order before dispatch. If you have an event deadline, contact us at hello@kilentar.com before ordering to confirm availability.
