Ano Layered Raffia Skirt

A high-waisted handwoven midi skirt with tiered raffia fringe and a semi-sheer net underlayer.

The Ano Skirt is woven from cotton and silk thread - the silk runs through the plaid pattern at the waist, catching light in the way only hand-woven cloth does. Below the structured waistband, two tiers of dyed raffia fringe fall over a semi-sheer net underlayer, finishing at an asymmetric hem. It is a skirt that moves. Handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár's artisans.

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

OPACITY: The skirt section is semi-sheer. There is no lining - the net is the only layer beneath the fringe. We recommend wearing it with a slip or a fitted undershort in a tonal shade.

FABRIC CARE: The fringe on this skirt is dyed raffia. Do not iron it directly - steam gently if needed. Dry clean recommended. Do not tumble dry. Hang to store; do not fold the fringe layers.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Is the Ano Layered Raffia Skirt true to size?
The structured waistband does not stretch, so if you are between sizes, size up. Measurements are taken of the garment itself, laid flat, in inches - compare your waist measurement against the size guide at kilentar.com/pages/size-chart, or email hello@kilentar.com and we will advise.

Is the Ano Layered Raffia Skirt see-through?
The skirt section is semi-sheer. Beneath the two tiers of raffia fringe, the net underlayer is the only layer - there is no lining. The fringe provides moving coverage, and we recommend wearing a slip or fitted undershort in a tonal shade underneath.

How do I care for the raffia fringe?
Steam only - never iron raffia directly, as direct heat damages the dyed fibres. Dry clean is recommended for the skirt as a whole, never tumble dry. Always store it hanging, without folding the fringe layers, so each tier falls straight and moves freely.

Will the raffia crease in shipping?
The fringe may arrive slightly compressed from the journey - this is normal and temporary. Hang the skirt on arrival and let the tiers fall for a few hours, then steam gently if any raffia strands need coaxing. Never iron the fringe directly.
