Valentine's Day, without guessing her size.
A purple silk wrap skirt with a phoenix.
Buying clothes for a partner goes wrong on size far more often than on style. A wrap skirt takes that problem away: it fits US 4 through 18 and she ties it to her own waist.
The Midi Wrap Skirt 3900BC in purple: 100% mulberry silk, Phoenix Dance printed by hand, an 86.6 inch tie, no zip.
It arrives gift boxed, with your note written by hand.
US 4-18 Fits
100% Mulberry silk
Gift Boxed
We pay the import duty, not you.
Shipping is free at this price. Orders leave Hanoi in 1 to 3 business days, then take 9 to 15 business days to a US address. A custom length adds 3 to 5 business days of tailoring before dispatch.
Something to say to her, not about her
Phoenix Dance is the motif for a woman you want to say something to, rather than about. In the old carvings the phoenix meant that all was well: the country at peace, and beauty worth noticing.
It is the empress's bird, paired with the dragon as a sign of a good marriage, and it comes from Ly and Tran Dynasty temple art, drawn soft and flowing.
If you want a line for the card: "It is a Ly Dynasty phoenix. It simply means that things are well."
How she can wear it
Out to dinner A black knit, heeled boots or pumps.
On a weekend away A white shirt and flat sandals.
Or as a halter dress Wrap it high and tie it at the neck.
Why the size works
No size to choose. Length is the figure to check, and the hem guide covers three heights.
One size, and it truly fits
This is a wrap skirt. The 86.6 in / 220 cm tie wraps and knots to your own waist, so it fits US 4 through 18 without guesswork. No zip, no fixed waistband, nothing to size wrong.

Want it longer or shorter? We cut it to your length in our Hanoi atelier for an extra 10% of the listed price. Reply to your order confirmation and our team confirms within one business day - tailoring adds 3 to 5 business days before dispatch. Once your measurements are confirmed, we send a secure link for the 10% made-to-measure surcharge. Made-to-measure pieces are not covered by our 30-day return and include one complimentary alteration instead.
Is it real silk?
Yes, 100% mulberry silk, printed by hand, from the same silk as our Phoenix Dance scarves.
ELLE Vietnam and Harper's Bazaar Vietnam have both covered our studio.
Why $289
You are paying for silk printed entirely by hand, each color through its own screen, and cut generously enough to wrap, overlap and tie.
The phoenix is matched at the panels, and the skirt is cut and sewn to order in our Hanoi atelier. It is shipped direct, import duty paid by us, so $289 is the full price.
Will it arrive by February 14?
One size: 1 to 3 business days before it leaves Hanoi, then 9 to 15 business days to a US address. For Valentine's Day, order in mid-January.
Custom length: allow 3 to 5 more business days.
What if it does not fit?
One size: return it within 30 days, unworn and unwashed, in the original box. Change-of-mind return postage is yours, and store credit adds 15%.
Custom length: made to measure, so it is outside the 30-day return. One complimentary alteration is included.
