80% cashmere, 20% wool · Shell
The Cashmere Wool Off-Shoulder Top & A-Line Skirt Set is made from 80% cashmere and 20% wool. The off-the-shoulder top has long sleeves and a wide neckline that sits straight across the shoulders or tilts into an asymmetric curve, with folds that gather naturally and a hem cut on a diagonal into a curve. The A-line skirt is joined from a few panels and has an elasticated waist, a full sweep with a natural drape and a rolled-edge hem. The pieces are sold separately, so you can buy the top, the skirt or both.

Model
Model is 5 ft 7.7 in (172 cm) tall, with a 30.7 in bust, 23.6 in waist and 33.9 in hip. She wears the top in size 32 cut to a 24.8 in sleeve and a 27.6 in body length, and the skirt in size 32 cut to a 38.6 in length, so on her the pieces sit longer than the size 32 in the charts.
Care
Hand wash or dry clean.
If hand washing, keep the water at 40 °C (104 °F) or cooler and dry the pieces flat in a cool, shaded place. Do not machine wash, spin dry, hang or bleach. Iron on a low heat. Wash them separately from other clothing.
Worn together as a set, or apart with the tops and skirts you already own.
Materials & Care
Every Aelse piece begins with the material. We work in leather tanned to soften with wear, suede, cashmere, wool and alpaca chosen for the hand, silk, linen and ramie that breathe, and slow beauty made from botanicals. Natural where it can be, considered where it can't — chosen to last and to be kept.

If a return is requested, the item must be returned and received in its original condition before a refund is issued. Refunds cannot be processed while an item remains with the client.
To protect the integrity of our custom process, future commissions are offered at our discretion.

Small batches. Scarce fabrics.
The Aelse Difference
Every Aelse piece is created in small batches — shaped by careful hands, scarce fabrics, and techniques that honor where they come from. Clothing that stays with you through shifting seasons, restless cities, and the many versions of you.
Longevity before novelty
Aelse is not priced for impulse. It is priced for women who choose with intention.
Pieces that learn you
Leather that softens, knits that settle, fabrics that remember your touch. A piece becomes yours because it stays long enough to hold your story.
Minimal waste, meaningful production
Some pieces are crafted on demand. This lowers excess, avoids landfill cycles, and protects the integrity of our makers.
For women who move — through cities, seasons, and selves. Who repair what they love, and understand that longevity is its own kind of luxury.
A considered timeline
Because our pieces are made slowly, some orders take a little longer. A few weeks now means years of wear later.
Small-batch quality
We work with ateliers, cultural partners, and independent makers who specialize in long-lasting craft.
A fit made for you
Share your measurements at checkout — we tailor our recommendations to reduce returns and ensure a piece you'll keep.
Scarcity with honesty
When fabrics and materials run out, we don't replace them. Some pieces won't return.
Questions, answered
What is an A-line skirt?
An A-line skirt is fitted at the waist and widens gradually to the hem, so the outline looks like the letter A. The skirt in this set has a draped A-line shape and goes with the slim off-the-shoulder top.
Is off the shoulder appropriate for work?
It depends on the workplace: in a relaxed office, an off-the-shoulder top under a blazer or a long cardigan looks polished. Keep the skirt or trousers simple, so the neckline is the one detail.
What bra to wear with an off the shoulder top?
A strapless bra, or a convertible bra with the straps removed, sits under an off-the-shoulder neckline without showing. A bandeau or a soft bralette in a shade close to your skin also works if you like less structure. Try the bra on with the top before you head out, since a neckline sits a little differently on each person.
How to style an A-line skirt?
An A-line skirt pairs well with a fitted top, because the skirt carries the shape and the top keeps the outline neat. Wear this one with its off-the-shoulder top as a full outfit, or with a tucked-in tee and boots for an easy daytime look. A belt at the waist shows off the A shape.
How to style an off the shoulder top?
Let the neckline lead: keep jewelry small, wear your hair up or swept back, and pair the top with a skirt or trousers that sits at the waist. In this set the slim off-the-shoulder top goes with its own draped A-line skirt.
