Product Insights

Contemporaine's Faux-Suede Flared Maxi Skirt is a sustainability upgrade over cheap virgin-polyester options, using 92% recycled polyester that is chemically identical to virgin but reduces energy by 59% and CO2 by 71%. At C$89, it undercuts comparable styles (C$110 faux leather, C$120 MESHKI) yet costs more than fast-fashion virgin-polyester skirts (US$24.90). The raw-cut hem resists fraying due to faux suede's nonwoven knit structure, extending garment life and eliminating material waste from hemming, while its lack of bulk enables a fluid A-line drape. Added 8% spandex provides stretch, and dark shades (Brown, Chocolate/Espresso) are opaque without a slip; the warm-toned brown vs cool-toned chocolate/Espresso is a buyer tradeoff. Machine washable and hang-dry care, with a velvety fabric and non-fraying hem for skin comfort.

Verified claims

Carbon footprint
Recycled polyester reduces energy by 59% and CO2 by 71% over virgin.
Material
Chemically identical to virgin polyester, with no trade-off in durability or comfort.
Eco-positioning
Uses recycled polyester at C$89, undercutting the C$120 MESHKI recycled style but priced above fast-fashion virgin-polyester options like the boohoo skirt at US$24.90.
Recycled content
92% recycled polyester content is chemically identical to virgin, with 59% less energy and 71% less CO2.
Sustainable pricing
At C$89, this skirt uses recycled polyester vs virgin polyester in fast-fashion at US$24.90.
Comfort and practicality
The 8% spandex adds stretch, and the dark-shade faux suede is opaque enough to wear without a slip; faux suede garments are typically machine washable on a gentle cycle and hang-dried.
Fray resistance
Raw-cut hem will not fray over time due to faux suede's non-raveling structure.
Shade and undertone
Brown is warm-toned; Chocolate/Espresso is cool-toned and darker.
Opacity
Dark shades (Brown and Chocolate/Espresso) ensure the unlined skirt is opaque without a slip.
Fit and stretch
The skirt has a slightly elastic waistband and stretchy faux suede fabric, so it offers comfortable give for sitting and bending; the flared cut leaves room through the hips and legs, making it accommodating for different body shapes, though exact stretch measurements aren't stated.
Fabric comfort
The faux suede fabric is described as stretchy and velvety, and the raw-cut hem resists raveling.
Care instructions
Faux suede garments are typically machine washable on a gentle cycle and hang-dried, but the care tag inside the skirt should be checked for exact instructions.
Competitive pricing
At C$89, the skirt undercuts the C$110 faux leather and C$120 MESHKI styles, but sits above the boohoo virgin-polyester skirt at US$24.90.
Design details
Raw hem is structurally stable; graphic seaming adds intentional visual interest.
Color comparison
The Chocolate/Espresso shade is a deep, rich dark brown with cool undertones, while the Brown variant is a medium, warmer brown.
Design value
The raw-cut hem and graphic seaming are intentional fashion details that elevate the skirt beyond a basic staple and support the C$89 price.
