Ladies Button Swing Skirt

Crafted from luxurious lambswool flannel, our flared ladies button swing skirt has a line of covered buttons down one side adding a dash of designer flair.

Originating in 17th century Wales, flannel was conceived by shepherds as a softer, more wearable version of their existing itchy work-wear, before going on to conquer the fashion world. Our flannel is made from soft lambswool, enabling our design team to develop and perfect a warm and practical skirt that gently recalls Edwardian styles. Enjoy teaming with your favourite autumnal knitwear separates or enhance the traditional look with a high-necked blouse.

Flannel was first crafted by farmers from carded wool to combat the cold. It was brushed for added softness and insulation. The introduction of the carding mill during the Industrial Revolution catapulted flannel from a local craft to a global staple - even warming Union soldiers in the American Civil War. Over time, flannel became a fashion essential, from WWII military gear to the 1990's grunge scene. Today, it represents comfort and elegance, and is popular in high-end fashion and cosy home wear, where it is valued for its heritage and quality.
