TESSERA - Reversible Skirt

Made to order. Please allow 12-14 days for knitting + 2 for shipping.

Tessera is a reversible cotton vest and skirt set. 
Like the vest,  the skirt's darker side has a pebbled texture - like garter stitch - while the lighter side is smooth. Both sides have pretty feature seams. The black and ecru (undyed yarn) colours give it both poise and neutrality: it can be worn with almost anything.
versatile, seasonless, and strong.
The sturdy cotton it is knitted in gives the skirt a lovely weight and drape. Worn separately or as part of the set, it is versatile, seasonless and strong.
Please note: the striping seen in the photos is caused by the way the two colours of yarn interact with each other while knitting. Other skirts may have striping in different places, or not at all.

About the collection: STRATA (AW25) is inspired by the way rock records the process of its own formation in layers, folds and forms. Knitting, in a way, does the same: it records both time and process as it is made.
In Strata, we let the process show: shaping marks, exposed seams, textured surfaces, layered shapes.
The quiet strength of each piece offers years of wear. No fuss, just purpose and beauty.

FIT NOTES FOR THE TESSERA SKIRT
The skirt is meant to sit close to the body, but isn't tight fitting. Aim for 8-14cm of ease when comparing you hip measurement with the hip width in the round measurement above.

FIND YOUR SIZE
Each of our products has its own size chart in which we try to give you all the information you need to make a choice.
Note that the numbers in these charts are the measurements of the garment, not the body. 

• Read through the Sizing & Fit notes to see what the intended fit is 
• Take the key width measurement on your body (chest in the case of a top, hips in the case of a bottom)
• Add the intended ease and check the size chart to find the nearest match.
• Check the length measurements of the garment against your body to make sure that they work for you.

Alternatively, compare the measurements of the garment with something similar you already own and whose fit you like. 

Keep in mind that knits are inherently stretchy, and none of our styles is especially tight fitting. It is often possible to size up or down to get a roomier of closer fit.
If you need help picking a size, please get in touch; we are always glad to assist.

Composition 100% cotton

Care The best care for your knits is often less: air it out between wears, and wash only when really needed. It's better for the fibres and the earth. If you feel like your knit needs a refresh, hover a steaming iron over it. The steam will fluff up and settle the fibres, and any slight stretching from wear will be repaired.
When your cotton knit does need cleaning, machine wash it using a gentle / wool cycle. Put the garment in a laundry bag to prevent abrasion or stretching.
Lay flat to dry; reshape while damp.
Store flat.
