Background of the Brand / Fabric / Style / Era:
This early 1980s silk check skirt was made by Country Line, a heritage German-Austrian brand celebrated for romantic folkwear crafted in natural fibres. This rare folk-style piece is made from 100% silk — an unusual and luxurious choice for traditional skirts of the time — with a richly printed plaid and delicate rose motif. The early 1980s care label, featuring a pre-1985 iron symbol, confirms its authenticity. A beautifully preserved treasure for collectors of early 1980s vintage, folk-style silk skirts, and slow fashion lovers alike.
