1970s Tartan Wool A-Line Maxi Skirt in Striking Red and Coral
What a skirt. Typically 1970s but also very modern - this is the sweet spot I look for at Vintage Akimbo. I’m getting mega Miu Miu vibes too, another thing I’m always on the lookout for. It is fully lined and fastens with a side zip. The waist is slightly relaxed - measure an inch or so below your natural waistline for the perfect fit. There’s no label and it appears to be a homemade one-off, so it’s completely unique.
Size 8-10

Buying Vintage Don’t always believe the label ~ vintage sizes are not the same as modern sizes, they usually come up much smaller.

Care Advice Wool is naturally antibacterial and if aired regularly should rarely need washing. Always wash before storing at the end of the winter to discourage moths, and store your favourite knits in separate bags to prevent the spread of moths.
I recommend dry cleaning but you could wash by hand or machine wash on a wool / hand-wash setting. If using the machine, place inside a net laundry bag or pillowcase. When washing, use an eco-friendly delicate laundry detergent suitable for wool. Wash cold to keep colours bright and with similar colours to avoid colour run. If handwashing, spin on a low speed afterwards and do not wring or dry in direct sunlight as colours can fade. Iron while still damp with a cool iron.
