Violet Vintage Knife Pleat Skirt
Pickup currently not available
Rather Rather Rather Good British Tailoring, Actually
This violet pleated skirt is precisely the sort of thing that makes one feel rather sophisticated without trying too terribly hard. Made in Britain with the sort of craftsmanship that feels increasingly rare, it's got that gorgeous wool crepe texture that manages to be both properly substantial and utterly forgiving. The kind of skirt that whispers good taste instead of shouting about it.
Why Choose Our Vintage Knife Pleat Skirt?
Beautifully Crafted Construction: Fully lined throughout because we believe in doing things properly. The side fastening zip and button means no fumbling about like a marooned jellyfish when getting dressed.
Glorious Tailored Fit: Sits at a 74cm waist circumference with a rather splendid 69cm length including the waistband. Sized for UK 8 to 10, it's the sort of fit that actually flatters real bodies instead of some imaginary athletic deity.
Fabulous Vintage Appeal: Those knife pleats are the real deal, not some mass produced approximation. You'll spot the difference immediately once it's on.
Wonderfully Versatile: Pair it with a tucked in blouse for the office, a jumper for weekends, or indeed a matching jacket we happen to have available for the rather committed pleat enthusiast.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
