Looking for a skirt that probably doesn't exist...

When I was a teenager, so back in the 90s, my mum had this skirt that I thought was seriously glamorous, even though it was quite a plain one that she wore for work. It was something about the cut and the way it swished as she walked - I think it might have come from Droopy and Browns if anyone remembers that. Anyway, I've since tried to find a replica but without success. The criteria are:
Ankle length
Wool or at least wool blend
Burgundy coloured
A-line
Preferably bias cut

I've tried Googling the search criteria and all I get is results for Chinese stuff on Amazon with dodgy-looking photoshopped pictures. One-off vintage stuff might work but I'm not really vintage sized!

M&S one here?

Ooh, close, but not long enough. 77cm would be about mid-calf length on me.

Laura Ashley used to sell things like this, maybe some on vinted?

Yes, I do look on Vinted and Vestiare Collective fairly often. No luck so far but I'll keep checking in.
