The Agile Skirt is a textile artwork inspired by nature and forgotten languages. Entirely made from an assemblage of layered, cut-out shapes, it evokes lush, living vegetation in constant motion. Each element is carefully embroidered and punctuated with hand-painted letters from the Bété alphabet, giving the piece a vibrant and symbolic dimension.
Halfway between sculpture and garment, this skirt celebrates grounding and connection to the earth, while letting the lower panels flow and move freely with the body. It embodies a powerful, rooted femininity, in continuous dialogue with memory and gesture.

At Africa Creates, we do not believe in the myth of predefined sizes. Each body is different and deserves an outfit just as unique. Therefore, to use this guide, we recommend using your measurements in inches (as explained below) rather than the "4 to 22" sizes.
From there you can select the corresponding international size for your order, and each seller will then be able to make sure to send the PERFECT fit for YOU!
