FAQs

Is this skirt true to size?

The skirt features adjustable buckles which allow for some flexibility in fit, but it is recommended to select your standard size based on the waist measurement.

Can I machine wash this wool skirt?

No, machine washing can damage the wool fibers and distort the pleated structure. Professional dry cleaning is required.

What kind of footwear works best with this style?

Due to its edgy, asymmetric design, this skirt pairs beautifully with knee-high boots, loafers, or platform shoes to match the brand's aesthetic.

Is the material heavy?

It is made of high-quality wool, which offers a structured, medium-weight feel suitable for cooler temperatures.

Where is the Orb logo located?

The iconic embroidered Orb logo is located on the front panel of the skirt.

Does the skirt have a lining?

Yes, it is designed with professional construction to ensure the wool sits comfortably against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Buckles feel loose or slip during wear

Ensure the prong is securely engaged in the appropriate hole and check that the strap is threaded correctly through the keeper loop.

Pleats are losing their crisp edge

Have the skirt professionally pressed. Avoid heavy ironing at home which can cause 'shine' on the wool fabric.

Lint or dust on the black wool

Use a high-quality soft garment brush in the direction of the fabric grain to gently remove surface debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile black colorway for easy styling
  • Adjustable buckles provide a custom-like fit
  • High-quality wool material offers durability and a refined finish
  • Unique asymmetric design distinguishes it from standard skirts
  • Features iconic brand heritage with the Orb logo

Cons

  • Wool fabric requires specialized professional dry cleaning
  • May be too warm for summer months
  • Asymmetric cut requires careful pairing with footwear and hosiery
  • Buckle hardware requires occasional inspection to prevent snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, adjust the double buckles to your exact waist measurement before tucking in any layers. Because this skirt is made from premium wool, it is highly recommended to store it hanging on a proper skirt hanger with clips to prevent deep creases or distortion of the pleats. Avoid over-tightening the buckles. If the skirt becomes wrinkled, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the embroidered logo. Always refer to the internal care label, and entrust the item to a professional dry cleaner to maintain the wool's texture and the garment's structural integrity.
