At SkylarkInfantry, we believe in weaving tradition, art and fashion into every thread. Our signature piece, the “Bordado Saya”, is more than just a skirt—it’s an embodiment of craftsmanship, cultural inspiration and contemporary elegance. Whether you’re dressing for a wedding, festive gathering or simply embracing your personal style, our Bordado Saya collection is designed to reflect grace, sophistication and individuality.
What is a Bordado Saya?
The term “saya” traditionally refers to a skirt or lower garment in various cultural dress contexts. In our collection, the Bordado Saya captures the essence of this classic form, elevated through intricate embroidery and luxurious fabrics.
The word “bordado” means “embroidered” in Spanish, which highlights the core technique we employ—rich, detailed embroidery that makes each piece unique.
By merging the skirt (saya) silhouette with elaborate embroidery (bordado), the Bordado Saya becomes a statement garment—rooted in heritage yet fully modern and wearable. At SkylarkInfantry, we adopt and adapt this fusion to deliver exceptional wearable art.
Why Choose SkylarkInfantry’s Bordado Saya?
1. Superior Craftsmanship
Every Bordado Saya is crafted with precision. We use high-quality fabrics, rich threads, and hand-finished detailing. Our artisans pay close attention to every stitch, ensuring the motif is vivid, durable and elegant.
2. Thoughtful Design
We blend traditional embroidery techniques (inspired by cultural textiles and design heritage) with modern silhouettes. The result is a skirt that flatters the body, moves beautifully, and stands out with its detailing—without feeling costume-like or overly ornate.
3. Versatility
Our Bordado Saya suits a range of occasions: from formal events to elevated casual looks. Pair it with a crisp shirt for a chic daytime look, or dress it up with a silk blouse and statement jewelry for an evening affair.
4. Unique Statement
Because each piece is embroidered and finished individually, you’re receiving a garment that’s truly unique. No mass-print facsimiles here: the texture, embroidery depth and color interplay make each skirt a collector’s piece.
5. Brand Promise
As part of the SkylarkInfantry family, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in quality, timeless design, and a piece that will remain a signature in your wardrobe. We stand behind every Bordado Saya with commitment to style, durability and satisfaction.

How to Style Your Bordado Saya
Daytime Chic
Pair your Bordado Saya with a crisp white or pastel blouse, minimal jewellery and flats or low-heel sandals. Let the skirt be the statement piece—clean lines up top, and perhaps a structured handbag.
Evening Glamour
Swap in a silk or satin fitted top (monochrome or complementary colour), add bold earrings or a cuff bracelet, and opt for heels. Consider a clutch in matching or contrasting metallic tones to echo the embroidery.
Layered Winter Look
In cooler months, you can layer a fitted turtleneck or lightweight knit, tuck it neatly, add a tailored blazer, and complete with ankle boots. The Bordado Saya becomes part of a layered ensemble, still shining through.
Occasion Wear
For weddings, receptions or celebrations, go full glam: choose a Bordado Saya with heavier embroidery or richer colour, pair with a statement top (embroidered or gem-accented), high heel and standout accessories. You’ll be event-ready.
Care & Maintenance Tips
- Keep your Bordado Saya in a cool, dry place to protect the delicate threads and fabric.
- Use padded hangers or fold with tissue paper to avoid embroidery snags.
- Avoid direct ironing on embroidery: use a low-heat iron inside-out or place a cloth barrier.
- Spot-clean gently if needed, but for full cleaning trust a professional familiar with embroidered garments.
- Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of both fabric and threads.
Why Bordado Saya is a Smart Wardrobe Investment
- Longevity: With quality materials and craftsmanship, the Bordado Saya retains its elegance for years.
- Timeless Appeal: Unlike trend-pieces, the embroidery style and skirt silhouette transcend seasonal fads.
- Versatility: Wear it again and again across different contexts—festive, formal, casual.
- Distinctiveness: It’s a piece not commonly found; owning it means you’ll stand out with refined taste.
