The cliff is the boundary between sea and land. There, on the sand-clad banks, the view of the
sea is magnificent. The moment fades into the infinity of the sea, and the soft sand reveals the
secrets of the sea, washed up through millennia. The relief of the skirt is the image the sea
paints in the wet sand that borders the sea. At first glimpse raw and unpolished, and at the same
time so beautiful and delicate. The skirt can be worn alone or with the Stevns Klint blouse.
