Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Check Tailored Skirt is designed for the modern woman who values a sophisticated, polished aesthetic that bridges the gap between professional tailoring and contemporary style. Featuring a bold check print and a unique asymmetric handkerchief hem, this piece offers a refined silhouette that adds movement and visual interest to any outfit. While the skirt provides a high-end look through its structured design and buckle-detail waistband, users should be aware that the premium leather construction requires careful maintenance compared to standard fabric skirts.

FAQs
Can this skirt be machine washed?
No. Due to its genuine leather construction, this skirt must not be machine washed. Professional leather cleaning is recommended to maintain the material.
What top works best with this skirt?
Fitted tops that can be tucked in, such as sleeveless blouses or fine-knit roll-necks, work best to highlight the buckle-detail waistband.
Is the leather heavy to wear?
The leather provides a structured, high-quality weight that ensures the skirt hangs correctly, but it is designed for comfortable all-day wear.
Does the handkerchief hem get in the way when walking?
No, the asymmetric hem is specifically designed to provide ease of movement while adding visual interest as you walk.
Should I size up because of the leather?
The skirt is tailored to be fitted. We recommend following the standard size guide for a size 10, but ensure you measure your waist to account for the structured, non-stretch waistband.
Troubleshooting
Buckle hardware feels loose
Check the internal backing of the buckle to ensure the rivets or stitching holding it to the waistband remain intact; avoid pulling or tugging on the buckle itself when adjusting the skirt.
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Gently buff the area with a dry, soft microfiber cloth; for deeper scuffs, consult a leather care professional to avoid discoloration.
Hem appears uneven or wrinkled
Hang the skirt vertically in a cool, dry area for 24 hours to allow the natural drape of the leather to smooth out the asymmetric panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your leather skirt, avoid exposing it to prolonged moisture or direct sunlight. Because it features a wrap-style front and a buckled waistband, always secure the fastening properly before wear to ensure the waistband maintains its structured shape. Store the skirt on a dedicated skirt hanger with clips to prevent creasing the leather at the waist. For cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist; do not machine wash or tumble dry the garment. Should the leather become slightly dull, use a high-quality leather conditioner as directed by the manufacturer to maintain its suppleness.
