Vintage D&G Dolce Gabbana Mini Skirt Lavender Purple Y2K Preppy Coquette Bow Back 2000s Designer Pastel Skirt M L
## Archival D&G Dolce & Gabbana FW2002 Lavender Pincord Faux-Wrap Mini Skirt
Serve ultimate Y2K "It-Girl" energy with this authentic vintage D&G (Dolce & Gabbana) mini skirt. Documented and authenticated to the historic **Fall/Winter 2002 collection (Model SI0035 / ST095)**, this beautiful, highly saturated pastel lavender / lilac colorway perfectly captures the absolute apex of the current coquette, soft-grunge, and preppy Y2K aesthetics.
## Design & Architectural Silhouette
Meticulously engineered under Italian direction by Dolce & Gabbana Industria S.p.A., this skirt features a flattering, fluttering A-line silhouette designed to sit low-to-mid rise on the hips for that definitive era-correct look.
* **The Faux-Wrap Geometry:** The frontal matrix is defined by a highly sophisticated, asymmetrical faux-wrap construction. The left fabric panel sweeps across the front in a beautifully rounded marine-style arc, anchored by a dual row of prominent, white mod-style statement buttons.
* **The Tailoring Details:** Framed by two functional, subtle horizontal utility pockets at the hips. The reverse perspective features an adorable, ultra-feminine tie-bow detail at the central waistband. The garment is secured via a discrete, hidden tonal side zipper for a completely uninterrupted line.
**Hardware & Branding Parameters:** The asymmetric closure features a majestic set of archival, three-dimensional hybrid statement buttons. Each button is meticulously engineered with a soft-square white resin base, housing a heavy silver-tone metal rim with sharp diagonal coin-edge rändelung (knurling), finished with a central high-gloss white cabochon dome.
## Textile & Material Science
Woven from an ultra-premium, tactilely rich blend of **98% Cotton and 2% Elastane**. Utilizing a hyper-fine, high-gauge **Baby-Cord (Needlecord / Pincord)** weave, the fabrication provides a beautiful matte, light-diffusing velvet texture. The strategic integration of elastane ensures a comfortable technical stretch, allowing the architectural A-line wall to contour beautifully over curves while maintaining excellent shape retention.
## Curator's Condition & Transparency Report
**Condition:** Excellent Vintage Condition
The exterior lavender baby-cord body remains flawlessly preserved, appearing virtually as new with zero sun-fading, edge-friction, pilling, or fabric crushing. The multi-layered mod statement buttons are pristine with completely intact metallic details and no resin chipping. The original hologram authenticity security sticker is fully intact on the reverse of the tag.
*Note on Internal Label:* True to its age, the internal Ittierre paper tracking label exhibits authentic vintage distressing, fine surface crackling, and typical golden-toned storage patina. The printing, including the D&G main logo and the D&G Industria S.p.A. stamp, remains crisp and fully legible. Fully dry-cleaned and ozone-sanitized in-house.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
