This was a key piece from the 2015 Balmain Resort collection and its twin was Look 29 on the runway. The skirt has never been worn and it still has all of its original tags. This collection created a frenzy for the pieces offered and this skirt in particular sold out and was wait listed world wide. It has that curved and fitted cut that Balmain is known for and has the added dimension and texture created by what it is made out of. The black and white stripes that you see are a raffia feeling material that is set in horizontal rows. This gives the skirt an extra dimension and depth that it would not have otherwise. It is cut to sit high up on the waist and is fitted to hug your hips. At the back is the signature Balmain chunky zipper. It has all its original tags still attached and has never been worn. Excellent condition.

Fully lined with their signature black ribbed fabric and closes at the back with the zipper you see. Tagged a modern 40. All original tags attached including an attached StyleBop return tag. Unworn.

Waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

This is a dramatic and bold skirt made out of a fine silk taffeta. Silk from this period was some of the finest in the world and this one is no exception. The silk has a slight sheen to it and a is covered with a bold green, red and black checked plaid pattern that is a fantastic. The waist band is fitted and the cut skims over the hips and then at the hem has a wide 10" ruffle that gives it the perfect finish. Really pretty and chic. Excellent condition

Unlined and closes with two flat hooks at the waist and a zipper. No pockets.

The Char label is one of the best of the hand made leather goods labels from the sixties and seventies. It has a cult like following because of the quality and sheer fabulousness of their pieces. This skirt is wonderful and an excellent example of their work. They hand-dyed their textiles using colors that instantly make you think of the desert and they loved to use a combination of suede, leather and deer skin that they hand cut and whip-stitched into place. Here they have made a fabulous wrap skirt that has a wonderful patchwork landscape scene that goes all the way around the entire skirt. Char made these pieces, by hand from approx 1968 to about 1975-76 in Mexico. Some of the best leather craftsman in the world were there at the time and the piece made are fantastic. A really unusual piece. Excellent condition

Unlined, hand made and whip-stitched. It closes with a combination of hook & eye and leather ties. You could easily adjust the hooks and ties to fit a variety of sizes. I have given the measurements of the back seam to seam but you can easily go up or down a couple inches in either direction. It shows normal patina for leather of this age with the occasional scuff and wear that just adds to its authentic vintage feel.
