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.
