Letter-from-rose-saskia
A letter from Rose, Rowan & Rose, Sydney. October 2026
She loves the look of a skirt. She just does not want to think about her hemline every time she sits down, bends over or steps out of the car.
On the six things that made me choose the Saskia, how it compares to what you have been wearing, and why it is $79.95 in our Frenzy Sale.
This is the one.
I am Rose. Every summer, women tell me the same thing. Shorts feel too casual for lunch out. A skirt looks lovely, until you have to bend down, sit on the grass or climb out of the car.
So she ends up in the same pair of long trousers, on the hottest day of the year.
I never accepted that she had to choose between pretty and practical.
The Saskia is my answer. It looks like a soft wrap skirt. Underneath, it is a pair of shorts. There were six things I would not do without.
A skirt on the outside, shorts underneath
Lift the wrap, and there are the shorts.
This is what I love most. From the front it looks like a wrap skirt. Underneath are built-in shorts. Walk, bend down to the grandchildren, step out of the car or sit on the grass at a picnic, and never once think about your hemline.
★★★★★
"Looks like a skirt, wears like shorts. I don't worry about anything."
Sara, Melbourne
A wrap front that falls just right
The wrap front falls softly over the tops of the legs. It gives a little extra cover, and a dressier look than a plain pair of shorts.
★★★★★
"The wrap covers just where I want it to. So flattering."
Angelique, Sydney
A soft elastic waist, no buttons
The elastic waistband sits comfortably all day. No zip, no buttons, no digging in after lunch. Pull them on and go.
★★★★★
"So comfortable at the waist. I forget I'm wearing them."
Miriam, Sydney
Real pockets
Deep enough for your phone and keys.
Not the little decorative pockets that hold nothing. Real pockets, deep enough for your phone and your keys, so you can leave the handbag at home.
★★★★★
"Proper pockets! My phone actually fits."
Mariette, Palm Beach
Light, cool and easy to move in
The fabric is smooth, light and breathable, with a gentle stretch that moves with you. Cool on warm days, easy from morning coffee to an evening on the deck. Wear it with a simple tee and sandals, or a loose shirt for lunch out.
★★★★★
"Cool and comfortable all day. I've worn them all week."
Lisa, Palm Beach
Four colours, S to 2XL, one price
Light Grey, Dark Blue, Off-White and Black.
Light grey and off-white for a fresh summer look. Dark blue and black that go with everything you own. Every size from S to 2XL at the same price.
★★★★★
"Bought the navy, then came back for the black. They go with everything."
Lisanne, Parramatta
The Saskia, against what you have been wearing
| The usual shorts or skirt | The Saskia | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Shorts look too casual | Looks like a soft wrap skirt |
| Cover | A skirt rides up when you bend | Built-in shorts underneath |
| Waist | Zip and buttons that dig in | Soft elastic waistband |
| Pockets | None, or too small | Real pockets for phone and keys |
| Fabric | Stiff or heavy | Light, breathable stretch |
I refuse to sell a woman something that makes her think about her hemline all day. That is the whole reason the Saskia is in our shop.

I have watched a lot of women try on the Saskia. They expect a skirt. Then they sit down, cross their legs and bend to pick up their bag, and they realise they have not once checked their hemline.
That is the moment summer gets a lot easier.
Go and find your size.
With love,
Rose, Rowan & Rose
