Few fabrics define an era quite like the faux suede - Ultrasuede®. This authentic vintage 1970s skirt suit by the label 'Out On A Limb' captures the decade's obsession with luxury synthetics and streamlined tailoring. Rendered in a vivid emerald green, it offers the buttery soft texture of suede with the practical resilience that made this fabric a revolution.

The jacket features a clean, collarless neckline and an open front that creates a relaxed yet polished silhouette. Its boxy cut is perfectly balanced by the matching skirt, which sits at the natural waist and falls to a classic knee length. The skirt's elasticated waist ensures a comfortable and flexible fit.

This is a power suit with a soft touch. The vibrant hue is an instant mood lifter, while the minimalist lines allow for endless styling possibilities. Worn together, it is a statement of confident, coordinated style. Separately, the jacket adds a pop of colour to denim, while the skirt pairs beautifully with a simple silk camisole or slouchy sweater.

This is sustainable fashion that feels incredible against the skin. A piece of design history that proves innovation and style go hand in hand.
