FAQs
What material is this skirt made from?
This skirt is crafted from high-quality genuine leather.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash this leather skirt as it will cause damage to the material. Professional leather cleaning is recommended.
How should I store this skirt to keep its shape?
It is best stored hanging on a skirt-specific hanger that clips onto the waistband to prevent folding and creasing.
What is the fit of the skirt?
The skirt features an A-line cut that sits at the natural waist and follows a straight-cut mini length, designed to skim the body for a polished look.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?
Depending on your workplace's dress code, the mini length can be styled professionally by pairing it with opaque tights and a more conservative top.
Does the leather stretch over time?
While leather does have a small amount of natural 'give' as you wear it, it will largely maintain its structured shape, so it is important to select the correct size.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuff or mark on the leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently buff the area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Skirt feels too tight around the waist
Ensure the skirt is resting at your natural waistline. Leather can relax slightly with wear, but avoid stretching it forcefully.
Visible wrinkles or creases
Hang the skirt in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the steam to gently relax the leather fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen skirt remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, always consult a professional leather specialist; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store the skirt on a dedicated skirt hanger with clips to prevent wrinkles and maintain the waistband's shape. Avoid folding the leather for long periods as this may cause permanent creasing.
- Environment: Keep the skirt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the yellow pigment over time.
- Compatibility: This piece is a UK size 8; verify your measurements against Karen Millen sizing charts as leather has less 'give' than standard fabrics.
