Description
What makes it special?
Timeless design in combination with high end material technology and smart details has always been a Houdini concept. W’s Walkabout Skirt is designed to provide shade for lazy days in the sun but it is also surprisingly functional for the more active days. Take it hiking or bring it on your paddling trip. The cool, light and quick drying materials are up for any adventure.
How does it work?
W’s Walkabout Skirt is made with Wish Woven™, one of our lightest fabrics with a cool feeling and great next-to-skin comfort, perfect for hot and humid climates. The construction of the skirt, with a long side slit and buttons along the side lets you customize the fit for your needs. Button up if you are hiking through terrain and let it down when you want the shade on beach days. Two side pockets will hold your essentials and a hidden inner pocket with zipper works as a stow pocket.
When should I use it?
The functional material, smart details and timeless form makes W’s Walkabout Skirt a highly versatile garment for any summer wardrobe. Great for traveling and beach days, but also for camping, paddling or hiking. Challenge it and you will not be disappointed!

Care advice
Synthetic clothing
When washing clothes made of synthetic materials, it is especially important to prevent the spread of microfibres in the water by using a laundry bag.
- Air clothes instead of washing if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and it makes the clothes last longer.
- Feel free to use a laundry bag. It protects your garments and prevents microfibers from leaking out. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the bin. Never rinse the laundry bag with water as the fibers can then end up in lakes and oceans.
- Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.
- Wash with mild environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage.
- Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's performance, especially moisture transport and drying time.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
sustainability
circular
The label circular means that this product is made from either recycled and recyclable, or renewable and biodegradable materials. Most products in today's society are linear, where the earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This does not work in the long run and causes enormous strain on the environment. Instead, we want to close the circle and reuse the materials we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini products are completely worn out, return them to us through our recycling units located in all our own stores and many retailers.
recycled
The label recycled means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothing or other sources such as PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many advantages. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. One of our suppliers shows that mechanically recycled polyester saves 32% CO2 and uses 94% less water. In addition to the footprint of production, the big difference is that we use "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.
Recyclable
The label Recyclable means that the fabric in this product is completely recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the material can be used to manufacture new products. Our goal is to take no material from the earth's crust into our products by 2030. Circular products, made from recycled and recyclable materials, is a big change but we need your help to make the system work. Return your Houdini garments to us when they are completely worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.
