Vintage Bohemian 1970s Block Print Wrap Maxi Skirt

A very special skirt that is right, right up our slow-fashion-loving alley. A truly authentic piece of 1970s textile history, it perfectly captures the hippie, bohemian aesthetic of that era. During the 1970s, the block print movement emerged as a bohemian counter-response to mass-produced synthetics. A bit of slow fashion before 'slow fashion' was even a bloody thing, this stunning skirt is a proper collectible for those who value artisanal and historical provenance.

The real beauty of this skirt lies in its character. There is fading throughout, but that fading serves to create a really stunning, authentic patina that gives real soul. The colours have softened into a muted bohemian masterpiece. The wrap-around design provides a customizable and flattering fit, while the maxi length skirt, instilled with stunning, hand-printed images of elephants and herbs, really cement this skirts place as a must have for any free spirit.

A real authentic 1970s Indian block print piece that wears its age with real grace and beauty, thus offering a unique opportunity to own a handmade part of a real revolution in fashion.
