The Print

Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of "Crossroads," a distinctive creation within Olga de Polga's Homeland collection. This unique design seamlessly blends elements of tartan with an alluring crossing pattern, creating a visual tapestry that symbolises the convergence of tradition and modernity.

As an Australian designer, my inspiration for "Crossroads" is deeply rooted in the diverse landscapes and cultural influences that define our beautiful country. In this print capsule, "Crossroads" represents not only a meeting point of patterns but also a harmonious fusion of classic and contemporary styles. The crossing lines within the design signify the intersections of tradition and innovation, offering a unique and dynamic perspective on fashion.- Olga

The print comes in three beautiful colourways - Citrus, Primary & Woodlands.

Caring for your beautiful pleated skirt

This fabric boasts a super soft, flowing texture and a smooth finish, ensuring both comfort and style. To maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your pleated skirt, please follow these care instructions:

Washing

Hand Wash or Machine Wash: Polyester is generally machine washable. You can either hand wash it or use a washing machine. Select a gentle cycle.

Machine Washing:

• Use Cold Water: Set the washing machine to a cold or cool water temperature. Hot water can damage the pleats.
• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to protect the fabric's colour and quality.
• Turn Inside Out: To protect the pleats and the surface of the skirt, turn it inside out before placing it in the machine.
• Use a Laundry Bag: Placing the skirt inside a mesh laundry bag can further prevent damage.
• Avoid Overloading: Don't overload the machine to ensure the skirt has enough room to move freely.

Hand Washing:

• Fill a Basin: Fill a basin or sink with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent.
• Submerge and Swirl: Submerge the skirt in the water and gently swirl it around. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the skirt with cold water until all detergent is removed.

Drying:

• Do Not Wring: Never wring out the pleated skirt, as this can damage the pleats. Instead, gently press the excess water out by pressing it between clean, dry towels.
• Hang or Lay Flat: Hang the skirt by the waistband or lay it flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Ensure it's in its natural shape, so the pleats remain intact.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Don't expose the skirt to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as it can lead to colour fading.

Ironing:

• Low Heat: If the pleats become flattened after washing, use a low heat setting on your iron (synthetic or polyester setting) to gently steam or press the pleats back into place. Ensure the skirt is dry before ironing.
• Use a Cloth: To avoid direct contact between the iron and the skirt, place a clean cloth or pressing cloth over the pleats while ironing.

By following these care instructions, you can maintain the appearance and quality of your pleated skirt made of 100% recycled polyester with permanent set pleats.
