Background of the Brand / Fabric / Style / Era:
This 1970s wool-blend check skirt was crafted in Western Germany by luxury alpine brand Bogner — a heritage label founded in 1932 and celebrated for its refined ski and sportswear. The “Made in Western Germany” label places this piece in the 1970s to early 1980s. With its soft check pattern in earthy yellow, blue, and brown tones, this skirt captures the quiet elegance of vintage European design. The blend of ramie (a natural fibre akin to linen) and cotton offers breathable structure and a gentle drape — perfect for transitional seasons. A beautiful example of quiet luxury for the discerning vintage wearer.
