Hamsey Skirt
The Hamsey is a calf length skirt with shaped waistband for comfort.
The soft gathers add fullness at the hem and the button fastening to the side with a deep split shows off your pins (or if you’d rather not, just add poppers or top stitch closed to give a faux opening).
It’s light and compact enough to fold up and pop in your hand luggage or suitcase. Pair with our Salvington Top or Brighton Cami and sandals for holiday sight seeing. Pop a cardi over the top for summer evening drinks outside.
