The Wadi Rum skirt is born from the fusion of natural linen, traditional craftsmanship, and contemporary design. Part of Anirav Brand's Jordan collection, this hand-embroidered long linen skirt tells a story that spans culture, music, and textile tradition.
Made from 100% natural linen, the skirt is lightweight, breathable, and perfect for the spring-summer season. The fabric ensures a fresh feel on the skin and a fluid fit, ideal for creating elegant and timeless summer looks.
The green color echoes the natural tones of the landscape and enhances the skirt's long, soft line.
The meaning of the embroidery: the Rebaba
The embroidered motif on the Wadi Rum skirt is inspired by the Rebaba, one of the oldest musical instruments in the Bedouin tradition, widespread throughout Jordan and the Middle East.
The Rebaba is a stringed instrument traditionally used to accompany poems, tales, and stories passed down orally among Bedouin communities. Through its music, journeys, events, and collective memories were narrated.
The skirt's embroidery reinterprets this cultural symbol in a textile key: the geometric motif recalls the stylized shape of the instrument, transforming an element of musical culture into a contemporary decorative detail.
Handmade embroidery crafted in Jordan
The embroideries on the Wadi Rum skirt are handmade in Jordan by Palestinian refugee women, who preserve artisanal techniques passed down through time.
Every detail is worked with great precision and integrated within the folds of the skirt, creating an elegant and discreet effect that reveals itself with the movement of the fabric.
This craftsmanship makes each garment unique and represents a meeting between Middle Eastern artisanal tradition and contemporary fashion.
A linen skirt perfect for spring-summer
In addition to the artisanal value of the embroidery, the Wadi Rum skirt is designed to offer comfort and versatility.
The elastic waistband ensures a comfortable and adaptable fit, while the removable hand-embroidered belt defines the waist and adds a distinctive detail to the garment.
Thanks to its fluid line, this long linen skirt can be easily paired with:
- linen shirts
- essential tops
- light blazers
- sandals or flat shoes
The result is a versatile garment, perfect for creating elegant and natural summer looks.
