Vintage Liangshan Yi People Tiered Festival Skirt

£165.00

A powerful and festive vintage skirt from the Liangshan Yi ethnic group, this piece exemplifies the bold graphic language and vibrant palette of Yi women's ceremonial attire. Crafted in distinctive color blocks — natural undyed cotton at the top, vivid cobalt blue, rich black, bright red, and cream pleats at the base — it carries the unmistakable rhythm of Yi design.

The central band features a traditional black-and-white triangle motif, symbolizing strength, balance, and the Yi people's cosmological worldview. The red tier, gathered with deep pleats, lends dramatic movement and volume — ideal for dance, celebration, and public presence. The full hemline is finished with layered pleats in off-white and black, enhancing the visual weight and energy of the garment.

An iconic piece of Southwest China's textile heritage, this skirt is perfect for cultural collectors, costume designers, and lovers of powerful, wearable tradition.
