Cloud Pleat High-Waist Pleated Mini Skirt

The Story

A pleated skirt is one of the hardest-working pieces you can own, so we made ours properly: knife pleats heat-set to stay sharp, a clean waistband that refuses to roll, and a soft lavender that reads as a real colour without shouting. It is the skirt that makes a simple blouse look styled.

About This Piece

The pleats are pressed rather than stitched, which gives the skirt a light, springy swing and lets it recover after a long sit — no crushed pleats at the back when you stand up. A concealed side zip keeps the waistband clean, and the band itself is cut on the straight grain and interlined, so it holds its shape from morning to evening instead of folding over.

The crepe is deliberately lightweight and matte: it moves with you instead of standing away from the body, and it never looks shiny or costume-like. Underneath, a full rayon lining prevents static and stops the pleats from clinging to tights in cooler months — the detail that turns a summer skirt into a year-round one.

This is a genuine wardrobe connector. It works with a puff-sleeve blouse, a plain ribbed tee, a cropped knit or a denim shirt knotted at the waist, and it moves from desk to dinner by swapping flats for heels.
