Finding the perfect skirt is all about how you want to feel. Floaty and textured, soft and silky, structured or effortless. At Renew Bohemian, our skirts are crafted from two beautiful reclaimed materials, recycled cotton kantha and recycled silk saris, each with their own unique feel, drape and story.
This guide will walk you through the differences, so you can find the piece that fits your style, your lifestyle, and the way you love to wear your clothes.
Kantha Skirts
What they’re made from
Our kantha skirts are created from layers of recycled cotton saris, sewn together using traditional kantha running stitch. Each piece is one of a kind, carrying the history of the fabrics it was made from.
How they feel
Soft, breathable and slightly textured. Kantha has a comforting, lived-in feel with a bit more structure than silk.
How they sit & move
Kantha skirts have beautiful, soft volume without being too floaty, making them easy to wear day to day.
Best for
Everyday wear
Cooler days or trans-seasonal layering
Adding texture to an outfit
Those who love a more relaxed feel
Recycled Silk Sari Skirts
What they’re made from
Crafted from reclaimed silk-blend saris, these skirts give new life to fabrics that already exist, each one unique in colour and print.
How they feel
Lightweight, silky and smooth against the skin. They have that effortless, barely-there feel.
How they sit & move
Silk skirts are more fluid and drapey. They move beautifully with the body and create a softer, more floaty silhouette.
Best for
Warmer weather
Dressing up or down
Travel (lightweight and easy to pack)
Those who love a soft, flowy feel
Officewear or events like weddings
Why Both Matter
Whether you’re drawn to kantha or silk, both options are rooted in a circular fashion approach. By using reclaimed fabrics, we’re reducing textile waste, avoiding the need for new material production, reducing the use of resources like power and water, and creating pieces that are truly one of a kind.
Each skirt is made in small batches with our artisan partners, supporting traditional craftsmanship and keeping textile waste out of landfill while designing for modern, everyday wear.
Kantha Eden Midi Skirt
The Eden Skirt is a timeless, vintage-inspired piece designed for easy, everyday wear. Crafted from soft recycled cotton kantha and stitched by our talented partners in India, each skirt is completely one of a kind, just the way we like it. It features a flattering vintage-style waistband and a reversible design, giving you two looks in one. The midi length and subtle side splits create movement while still feeling relaxed and wearable. The waistband of the Eden skirt is more fitted than our other styles, but still comfortable with shirred elastic across the back.
Kantha Juno Midi Skirt
The Juno Skirt is one of those effortless pieces you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. Easy, comfortable and full of character, it’s designed to move with you through every season. Made from repurposed Indian cotton kantha, each skirt is completely one of a kind, with its own unique mix of contrasting colours and patterns. The elastic waistband with a drawstring tie makes it an easy, flexible fit, while the full A-line shape creates soft, flattering movement. The Juno is a reversible design and classic midi length.
Kantha Rasika Maxi Skirt
The Rasika Skirt is made for lovers of beauty, comfort and expressive style. Its name, meaning “one who appreciates the beautiful,” feels especially fitting for a piece like this. Crafted from two carefully paired recycled cotton kanthas, each skirt is completely one of a kind, with rich colours and layered character throughout. The extra-wide maxi silhouette creates a bold, flowing shape, while the high-rise waistband with elastic and a drawstring offers a comfortable, flexible fit. Designed with deep pockets and subtle side splits.
Silk Sarita Midi Skirt
The Sarita Silk Skirt brings effortless boho vibes with a cheeky nod to the 70s. Made from dreamy recycled sari silks, every piece is one of a kind. The flowy midi length is perfect for twirling in the summer sun or layering up when the weather cools, and the button-front with wooden buttons and elastic waist at the back with a flat front and ties keeps it easy and comfy with that classic boho style we love. Sarita skirts are equally perfect for wearing into the office or dressed down for the farmer's market on a Sunday, and are more form-fitting than our other styles.
Spellbound Kantha & Silk Maxi Skirts
We’re kind of obsessed with the Spellbound Maxi Skirt. Flowing, comfy, and bursting with colour, it’s made from either two soft cotton kanthas or hand-picked recycled sari silks, so every skirt is completely one-of-a-kind. Buttons run up the leg so you can wear it open a little… or a lot, and the reversible design gives you a whole other look whenever you like. It’s the ultimate dreamy, bohemian skirt you’ll never want to take off. The Spellbounds are our fullest skirt, with plenty of fabric to give you the best twirl ever.
Kantha Sundar Midi Wrap Skirt
Our Sundar Wrap Skirt is a total 70s-inspired dream. Made from soft, repurposed Indian cotton kantha, each skirt is unique. The flattering high waist, midi length, and natural, breathable fabric make it perfect for spinning through summer days or layering up in cooler months. Reversible and flexible in size, it’s designed to move with you in your everyday life.
Kantha Traveller Mini Wrap Skirt
The Traveller Wrap Skirt was dreamed up for endless summer days along the Australian coastline. Made from soft, recycled Indian cotton kantha or silky upcycled pashmina, it’s light, easy, and perfect for rolling up and taking on your adventures. With a flattering, adjustable high waist with a tie, and reversible design, it’s like getting two skirts in one, ready for spontaneous seaside spins or exploring new cities. The Traveller skirt is our only mini skirt!

I love your clothing, used to wear these styles and fabrics in the late 70’s 80’s and 90’s .
Sadly Im no longer that slim. Would wear them again but you don’t size up to 5XL.
I am too old to ever see .skinny again. Woe for me.
Hi. I’m 10, sometimes I go a size 12 so I can get more flowing fit… would that mean I should size up to a medium? Or is the s still more of a flowy fit?
