The skirt is part of our exclusive Aspiga x RHS collection, capturing the charm of botanical artistry with a relaxed, bohemian spirit. The feminine floral print is perfect for any summers evening activity – pub or party!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and wash my sustainable summer skirts?
To preserve the natural fibres and vibrant artisan prints of your organic cotton and linen skirts, wash them on a gentle, cool cycle (30°C or below) using an eco-friendly detergent. Air-dry them on a line or drying rack rather than tumble drying - this protects the fabric’s drape and lifespan while reducing your energy footprint.
How do I pack linen and cotton skirts for a holiday without them wrinkling?
Rolling your skirts instead of folding them is the most effective way to prevent hard creases in your suitcase. Tiered organic cotton and textured sustainable viscose blends travel exceptionally well. For linen pieces, simply hang them in the bathroom while you take a warm shower - the gentle steam will help release any travel wrinkles naturally!
How are Aspiga summer skirts made sustainably?
As a certified B Corp, every Aspiga skirt is crafted with people and the planet in mind. We partner with small, family-run factories and artisan communities in India and Kenya who practice traditional techniques like hand-block printing. We use eco-conscious materials - including GOTS-certified organic cotton, sustainable linen, and Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose - to ensure your summer style leaves a lighter footprint.
Why are natural fabrics better in hot weather?
Natural fabrics like linen and cotton allow better airflow and absorb moisture more effectively than synthetic materials, helping keep you cool and comfortable in high temperatures.
