The Tursunay Skirt
FEATURES
• Italian Jacquard Fabric with hand embroidery
• Side pockets
• Invisible zipper closure at the back
• Care: machine wash on gentle cycle
• Available in sizes XS-1X, see our size chart below
This skirt is a classic 1950s-inspired half-circle jacquard design, featuring a bold floral print, practical pockets, and a discreet back zipper.
It is inspired by the story of Tursunay Ziyawudun, a seamstress from the Xinjiang region of China who relocated to Maryland in 2018. Tursunay was forcibly detained in a Chinese “re-education” camp, where she spent two years. You can read her full story here.
The skirt features large, dramatic flowers embroidered with the names of Uyghur women, stitched by hand. This skirt is dedicated to Uyghur women whose names, language, and lives refuse to disappear: Tursunay, Amina, Gulnisa, Shirin, Aynur, Mahinur, Perizat, Peride, Mihriban, Gulzar, Nilufer, Gulbahar…..
