Handmade Black Floral Embroidered Mini Skirt from Peru, "Qashwa"

Painstakingly embroidered over the course of three days at the hands of an artisan, this mini skirt takes on its unique character. The elaborate design features immense detail in each flower, bird and butterfly, with each consisting of meters of thread embroidered through a time-tested process. Artisan Anaychay incorporates Andean identity into this skirt, which is fashioned from acrylic in the style traditionally used for the Qashwa circle dance belonging to the indigenous Quechua-speaking people of Peru. Comfortable, thanks to its cotton blend inner lining, and adapted to daily life, this embroidered mini skirt brings the celebration to summer.
