W5441 Skirt Long High-Waisted Asymmetric Flowing Jacquard Check Cotton Wool Blend Removable Belt — Black Women's Italian

Regular price €242.90 EUR

A Check Jacquard That Moves Like Silk and Transforms Like Architecture.

The W5441 is a long high-waisted skirt in a flowing check jacquard — 35% cotton, 28% polyester, 20% wool, 15% viscose, and 2% other fibres. Five fibres woven together into a jacquard with a check pattern that drapes and moves with the body rather than holding a rigid shape. The asymmetric hem creates a silhouette that reads differently from every angle. A removable and adjustable belt with metal buckle and eyelets defines the high waist when worn, and disappears when removed. Buttonholes and internal buttons at the hem allow the skirt length and volume to be adjusted — a construction detail that gives the W5441 multiple configurations from a single garment. Concealed back zip closure. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US, Italian avant-garde.

Why This Skirt Is Different

  • Five-Fibre Flowing Jacquard: 35% cotton, 28% polyester, 20% wool, 15% viscose, 2% other — a complex blend engineered for drape, movement, and surface quality. The cotton provides breathability and structure; the wool adds warmth and body; the viscose contributes drape and a subtle sheen; the polyester adds durability and shape retention. Unlike single-fibre jacquards that sacrifice one quality for another, the W5441 blend achieves all simultaneously.
  • Check Pattern Jacquard: The check pattern is woven into the jacquard structure — not printed or applied to the surface. The pattern has depth and texture, the check lines reading differently as the fabric moves and catches light. In black, the check reads as a tonal pattern — visible on close inspection, subtle from a distance.
  • Asymmetric Hem: The hem is deliberately asymmetric — different lengths on each side, creating a silhouette that reads differently from the front, side, and back. The flowing jacquard fabric amplifies the asymmetry: the fabric moves and falls differently at each hem length, creating a dynamic silhouette that changes with movement.
  • Buttonholes and Internal Buttons at the Hem: A construction detail that allows the hem to be gathered and fastened at different points — changing the length, volume, and silhouette of the skirt. Unlike a fixed hem, the W5441 hem can be adjusted to create a shorter, more gathered silhouette or released to fall full and asymmetric. Multiple skirts in one.
  • Removable Adjustable Belt with Metal Buckle and Eyelets: The belt is constructed with metal eyelets for precise adjustment and a metal buckle for secure fastening. Worn, it defines the high waist and adds a hardware-forward accessory layer against the flowing jacquard. Removed, the skirt reads as clean and architectural, the high waist holding its shape through the concealed zip closure.
  • High Waist: The waistband sits above the natural waist, elongating the leg and anchoring the flowing jacquard volume below — a proportion that makes the check pattern and asymmetric hem read as more deliberate and considered.
  • Concealed Back Zip Closure: Hidden behind a placket, maintaining the clean line of the high waist and check jacquard surface from the front and sides.
  • Flowing Construction: The five-fibre blend is woven to drape and move rather than hold a rigid shape — unlike structured jacquards that read as stiff and formal, the W5441 moves with the body, the check pattern shifting and catching light as the fabric falls.
  • Made in Italy: The five-fibre jacquard weave, asymmetric hem construction, and hem buttonhole detail require Italian atelier expertise. LA HAINE INSIDE US, Italian avant-garde, Made in Italy.

The Moment You Put It On

The W5441 falls immediately into its flowing shape — the five-fibre jacquard is lighter and more fluid than its complex composition suggests, the check pattern reading as a tonal surface in black that reveals its structure on close inspection. The high waist sits above the natural waist and defines the silhouette immediately: the asymmetric hem below reads as deliberate and architectural, the flowing fabric moving differently at each hem length as you walk.

The belt is the first decision. Worn with the metal buckle centred at the high waist, it adds a hardware-forward layer and defines the silhouette precisely. Removed, the skirt reads as clean and flowing, the high waist holding its shape through the concealed zip. The hem buttons are the second decision: fastened, the hem gathers and the skirt reads as shorter and more voluminous; released, the asymmetric hem falls full and fluid. This is a skirt that offers multiple configurations — and rewards the attention required to discover them.

The Art of Five-Fibre Flowing Jacquard

Jacquard is a weaving technique in which the pattern is built into the weave structure itself — not printed or applied to the surface. In the W5441, the check pattern is woven into a five-fibre blend: 35% cotton, 28% polyester, 20% wool, 15% viscose, and 2% other fibres. Each fibre contributes a specific quality to the finished fabric. Cotton provides breathability, natural texture, and a matte surface that anchors the blend. Wool adds warmth, body, and a slight elasticity that helps the fabric recover its shape after movement. Viscose contributes drape and a subtle sheen — the viscose fibres catch light differently from the cotton and wool, giving the jacquard surface a complexity that single-fibre fabrics cannot achieve. Polyester adds durability and shape retention, ensuring the flowing jacquard holds its drape through extended wear and washing. The result is a jacquard that moves like a lightweight fabric and holds its pattern like a structured one — a balance that five fibres achieve together and that no single fibre could achieve alone. In black, the check pattern reads as a tonal surface — the woven structure creating subtle light and shadow within the same colourway, visible on close inspection and sophisticated from a distance. LA HAINE INSIDE US chose this five-fibre flowing jacquard for the W5441 because it achieves the visual authority of a check pattern through the movement quality of a fluid fabric.

How to Wear It

  • Belted, Hem Released: Wear the belt at the high waist and release the hem buttons — the asymmetric hem falls full and fluid, the metal buckle adding a hardware accent against the flowing check jacquard. Evening-appropriate and editorial.
  • Belted, Hem Gathered: Wear the belt and fasten the hem buttons — the skirt gathers at the hem, creating a more voluminous, directional silhouette. Pair with ankle boots for a considered, fashion-forward look.
  • Clean, Hem Released: Remove the belt and release the hem — the W5441 reads as clean and architectural, the flowing check jacquard and asymmetric hem doing the work without the accessory layer. Pair with a fitted top or bodysuit.
  • Layered: Wear over a fitted long-sleeve or turtleneck in black — the high waist and flowing jacquard read as a considered outer layer, the hem slit revealing the layer beneath. Travel-ready and seasonally versatile.

Care Instructions

  • Dry clean recommended — the five-fibre jacquard blend requires careful handling to preserve the check pattern and flowing drape
  • Hand wash cold (30°C) as an alternative — wash inside out, gentle cycle
  • Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to preserve the asymmetric hem and jacquard structure
  • Cool iron on the reverse side if needed — do not iron directly on the jacquard surface
  • Do not bleach
  • Store hanging to preserve the asymmetric hem and flowing silhouette
  • Belt: wipe metal hardware clean; hand wash fabric separately
