IF THERE IS ANY OTHER GARMENT DESIGNS YOU LIKE ELSEWHERE ON OUR WEBSITE THEN FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT AND ENQUIRE ABOUT PRE-ORDERING A BESPOKE VERSION IN THIS SPECIAL RUN OF THE FIRST EVER BLACK ELEMENTS TARTAN.

The drape waist has just that!  An utterly stunning swathe of fabric cinches at your waist, then bellows and flows all the way to the floor.  The simplicity of this design allows the fabric woven by us to just say wow!  When worn as the kilt, this is the winner of any red carpet walk, not only for its style but it’s bad-ass planet and people love too.

Similar to our classic maxi and midi kilts the drape waist evolution has the same incredible use options.  Following the same multi-use concept, you have a full torso length shoulder cape and a gorgeous mid-calf dress.  By fastening the kilt strap over your bust you can own that look!  For the cape fasten the kilt strap, fold your waistband into a collar, pop over you head and get on that bad-ass mission!

All kilts are made to order, it fit’s better, so will be loved more and in time saves the planet and your purse….

A glorious garment that makes you feel good

I’m of a stern belief that clothing is not only to shield one from the elements, but also to boost the wearers confidence and mood furthermore serving as a medium for self expression. This kilt does exactly that for me and I take great joy in wearing it. The quality of the fabric is immaculate, the garment construction shows great care to detail and it shows the passion that went into bringing the kilt to this world. Proudly own and wear this one, will definitely expand my collection further!
