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.
textiletuts.com
Material: The skirt is 92% polyester made from recycled plastic bottles and 8% spandex, and the recycled PET is chemically identical to virgin polyester—with no trade-off in durability or hand feel.
textiletuts.com
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.
textiletuts.com
Sustainable pricing: At C$89, this skirt uses recycled polyester vs virgin polyester in fast-fashion at US$24.90.
prettylittlething.us
Comfort and practicality: The 8% spandex adds stretch for sitting and bending, and the dark-shade faux suede is opaque enough to wear without a slip.
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 a hidden back zip, and its stretchy, velvety faux-suede fabric gives comfortable give for sitting and bending. In size small it measures 34 inches (87 cm), and it runs true to size—size small fits roughly a 30.5-inch waist and 39.5-inch hips, so between-size shoppers can take the smaller size. The flared cut leaves room through the hips and legs, making it accommodating for different body shapes.
textiletuts.com
Fabric comfort: The faux-suede fabric is soft, stretchy, and velvety, with a plush brushed handfeel rather than a slick synthetic finish; the raw-cut hem resists raveling.
pubs.nmsu.edu
Care instructions: Machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and wash dark colours separately; hang to dry. Do not bleach or soak, and if needed use a low iron inside out. No dry cleaning is required.

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: Paneled construction and graphic seaming create the flared A-line, the raw-cut hem is structurally stable, and the skirt is unlined.
pubs.nmsu.edu
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: Contemporaine by Simons designed this skirt in Canada, and the raw-cut hem and graphic seaming are intentional fashion details that elevate it beyond a basic staple and support the C$89 price.
Static and pilling: Polyester faux suede builds up static over tights, especially in dry, cold conditions, so an anti-static spray or a slip helps; the smooth suede-like surface resists pilling and snagging, but the raw-cut hem and seams can catch on rough tights. Line-drying and avoiding high heat also reduce static.
Shape retention: The synthetic suede does not shrink, crack, peel, pill, or stretch, so the flared A-line and 34-inch length hold their intended shape instead of sagging or bagging out over repeated wear.
pubs.nmsu.edu
Hem adjustability: Because the faux-suede edge does not ravel, the raw-cut hem can be trimmed to a shorter maxi or midi length without re-hemming or a tailor.

This product Faux-Suede Flared Maxi Skirt Contemporaine simons.ca	Same brand Pleated Waist Flared Maxi Skirt Contemporaine simons.ca	Same brand Technical Fabric Flared Maxi Skirt Contemporaine simons.ca
Faux-Suede Flared Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a flowy, velvety faux-suede maxi with stretch — made of 92% recycled-bottle polyester and 8% spandex — in a flared, paneled A-line shape with a slightly elastic waist, hidden back zip, and raw-cut hem that falls about 34 inches in size small. It comes in Brown and Chocolate/Espresso across XX-Small to X-Large, though note it is unlined, so consider that if you prefer lined skirts.^[1]	Pleated Waist Flared Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a breathable, lightweight everyday skirt in a TENCEL lyocell and linen blend (70% lyocell, 30% linen), with an A-line flared shape, soft pleats at the waist, slit side-seam pockets, a hidden back zip, and a waistband that is slightly elastic at the back. It comes in Mint/Pistachio Green in sizes XX-Small to Large and is unlined. Note that the fabric can show light creasing from movement, so expect a relaxed, natural-fiber look rather than a crisp finish.^[2,3,4,5]	Technical Fabric Flared Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want an easy, travel-ready maxi: its lightweight, ultra-stretch technical fabric (80% reprocessed nylon, 20% spandex) resists wrinkling, and reviewers report it packs down small and comes out of a suitcase ready to wear, with all-day comfort from morning to evening. The flared A-line cut with a concealed elastic waistband, rounded hem, and side slits suits warm-weather wear and effortless styling, though it is unlined and measures 33 inches (85.5 cm) long in size small.^[6,7,8,9]
