Riley was made to swing. Pull it on and let the hem do the rest.

The Riley is a pink gingham maxi skirt made from 100% cotton poplin, in a red and pink check. It has an elasticated waist and side pockets, and the full, gathered skirt drops into a single tier at the hem, falling to the ankle. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The elasticated waist means no zips, no buttons and no fuss, so you just pull it on. The skirt is gathered for fullness from the waist, and the tier at the hem adds an extra swing every time you move. The pockets are deep enough to actually use.

Wear it with the Brooke top in the same check for a full set, or break it up with a white tee and flat shoes.

FAQ

Does the Riley run true to size, and which size should I take?
The Riley has an elasticated waist, so it's easy to wear and forgiving through sizing. The skirt is full and gathered, with plenty of room through the hip. Our model is 1.70m and wears a size 32. Take your usual Signature by Des size.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
The Riley is made from 100% cotton poplin in a red and pink check. Poplin is crisp, smooth and lightweight, so it breathes well in warm weather and gives the skirt and its tiered hem their swing. It softens nicely with every wear and wash.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only, and wash dark colours separately. We suggest washing by hand to ensure the longevity of your garment, because a lot of care went into making it. Treated gently, the Riley will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the pink gingham maxi skirt with?
Wear it with the Brooke top in the same check for a full matching set, or split them up. It works with a white tee, a denim shirt or a simple tank, with flat shoes or espadrilles.

Where is it made?
The Riley is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team. Like every Signature by Des style, it's produced in a limited run, so once the red and pink check is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.
