Structured to stand out, these pencil (fitted) skirts are perfect for the office, marae (waitressing) and can be dressed up or down.

Print Design: Tāniko: 

Background to Tāniko: Tāniko is a uniquely Maori variation of whatu (twining) and was used to weave the colourful, intricate borders of Cloaks.  In Cloak making, Tāniko was used only for borders since the weave is too stiff to suit entire garments.  Tāniko is also used to make Pari (bodices), tipare (head bands), Tapeka (sashes), Tātua (belts) and taonga whakapaipai (jewellery).  Tāniko designs express histories, ideas and values important in Te Ao Maori (The Maori World). 

Style: Classic and effortless pencil skirts, that are form fitting, with two pockets and a zip at the back. In our photos we have styled it with a scarf (from Indigenous asf).. which you can add a blazer to make it ready for mahi... or dress it down with a tee x

N.B. some of the skirts have a subtle orange trim on the pocket.
