Tie Dye Leather – Tory Burch Florence Skirt

It’s hard to find designs these days that are truly “new.”  Most of what happens in fashion has already been done in a previous decade in one form or another.  This isn’t necessarily a complaint, because a fresh take on an old design can still feel new and, of course, vintage and retro fashion is usually popular. 

But I saw this Tory Burch Florence skirt and thought, wow, I’ve never seen that before:

Sure, I’ve seen leather skirts by the thousand.  Same with tie dye.  And bubble skirts, that was last year’s big thing.  But honestly, I really don’t think I’ve ever seen a tie dyed leather bubble skirt.  And I LOVE IT.  I think it’s the leather that really throws me for a loop here – I can definitely see a tie-dyed bubble skirt, but putting that into leather is definitely a really creative design choice.  I don’t normally consider Tory Burch to be an innovator (although I do really like her designs), so I am even more impressed with this piece.
