W's Stride Skirt

What makes it special?
Light and cool as an ocean breeze, Stride Skirt is the perfect garment for hot summer days. It is light, soft, stretchy and dries quickly. The packable material and stow pocket makes it perfect to bring in your beach bag or backpack when you are on the go.

How does it work?
The Wish Woven fabric is highly functional and provides ultimate cool comfort on hot summer days. It’s soft, stretchy and light. It’s the same fabric that we use in trail running shorts, which makes the Stride Skirt a lot more functional than what you might think at a first glance. It’s designed for activities, with slits in the sides for full freedom of movement. The skirt has two zippered side pockets that can also be used as stow pockets.

When should I use it?
Perfect to wear to the beach but also to wear on a hot summer hike. The packable fabric makes it an excellent travel buddy. Stride Skirt is the perfect match if you are looking for a functional and highly versatile skirt for any summer adventure. A little warning though: Once you put it on, you will have a hard time changing back into anything else.

This garment is recyclable and we kindly ask you to return it to Houdini when it’s worn out. This way we can use the raw material for new products and nothing goes to waste. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Synthetic materials

When washing clothes made of synthetic fabrics, the use of a washing bag becomes even more important: It prevents microplastics from entering into rivers and oceans.

• Air clothes instead of washing to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer.
• Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can. Never rinse it in water since we don’t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
• Machine wash, max 40 °C/104 °F.
• Use mild environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Tumble dry on low heat.
• Iron on low heat.

Circular

The Circular label means that this product is made either from recycled and recyclable or renewable and biodegradable fibers. Most products in today's society are made in a linear lifecycle, where earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This is not working in the long run and comes at a great environmental impact. Instead, we want to close the loop and reuse the material we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us through the recycling units we have in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Recycled

The Recycled label means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothes or other sources like PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many benefits. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. How much depends on the type of recycling. One of our suppliers show 32% less CO2 emissions and 94% less water use for mechanically recycled polyester. Besides the production impact, the major shift is using "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.

Recyclable

The Recyclable label means that the raw material in this product can be used for new products, instead of becoming waste. Our goal is that by 2030, we will take no raw material to our products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but we need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us. We have recycle units in all of our own stores and at many retailers.
