This denim “hippie” skirt is made from a pair of jeans and adorned with patchwork of various fabrics. Elainya Rainbow (born Eleyn Jones) created the skirt around the same time she moved from Detroit to Boulder in 1967. Elainya was an accomplished seamstress and clothing designer, and was involved in the early outdoor gear and clothing industry - working for companies such as Lowe Alpine and Boulder-based Hine Snowbridge. She was also an early Greenpeace activist.
