Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

Nicole Farhi occupied an interesting space between luxury designer fashion and understated British elegance. While many brands of the period focused on logos and trends, Farhi often commissioned intricate artisan work, particularly embroidery and embellishment produced in India. This skirt showcases that philosophy beautifully. Crafted from soft 100% cotton and fully lined for comfort, this skirt features a flattering smocked waistband and a generously full silhouette that drapes and moves. The taupe base color is both versatile and sophisticated, providing the canvas for the extraordinary artisan embellishment that decorates the lower portion of the skirt. Intricately hand-applied beads and sequins in soft chartreuse, ivory and antique gold tones form organic floral and circular motifs around the hemline, creating subtle texture and movement as the light catches the embellishment. The detailing feels handcrafted and artistic rather than overly decorative, making it a timeless statement piece. The silhouette strikes a beautiful balance between relaxed elegance and feminine volume. It can be styled casually with a linen shirt and sandals for a modern bohemian look, or dressed up with a silk blouse and heels for special occasions. A lovely example of Nicole Farhi's signature blend of craftsmanship, natural fabrics and refined design.
