Two Sisters Skirt - Kawsanki Collection

VIEW SHIPPING NOTE AT BOTTOM OF DESCRIPTION 

In Andean ways of thinking, balance is sustained through duality: two forces existing side by side, complementing one another to maintain harmony and world order. The Two Sisters Skirt embodies this principle, its multilayered silhouette inspired by the traditional garments of Andean women and reinterpreted through a contemporary lens to create a piece that can be proudly worn by all.

Designed by Yana Manta (Kinoo Arcentales Cajas) and woven in collaboration with Kichwa families, the textile is expressed through bold black-and-white geometry. Its layered form becomes a landscape in itself—mountains and rivers, earth and water—honoring tradition while opening new possibilities for contemporary wear.

From fabric to finish, the skirt is 100% Indigenous made, affirming sovereignty, slow fashion, and the thriving presence of Indigenous creativity. The Two Sisters Skirt is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking, a living expression of Indigenous Futurism.

Materials: Cotton-acrylic blend fabric.
Each skirt is handmade, with unique variations in pattern and layering.

NOTE: Skirt only available in BLACK. If you would like the version in white, please contact us as this would be a custom order.

SHIPPING NOTE

All orders from this collection have a $0 shipping fee during checkout. Due to recent changes in tariffs between Canada/USA we will be contacting each customer directly to charge for shipping. Please expect charges from $15-$50 depending on your region. If you would like to roughly calculate your shipping fee, we are using Canada Post for Canadian addresses and the United States Postal Service in the USA. 

If you are located in NYC you may also pick up from us from Sept. 10-16. 

If you are located in Toronto, our standard pick up schedule applies!

This is our workaround as small businesses continue to be impacted by changes in American trade laws that now charge 35% or more in tariffs. This is our first time encountering this so we deeply appreciate your patience as we navigate through this together!
