Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Check Tailored Skirt is designed for the modern professional seeking a blend of British heritage and sculptural, contemporary design. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated silhouette, which uses an asymmetric handkerchief hem and buckle-detail waist to create a flattering, elevated look suitable for both office and evening wear. One caveat to consider is that the premium leather material requires specialized care to maintain its structure and finish over time.

FAQs

Can I wash this skirt in the washing machine?

No, because this garment is made of leather, it must be professionally cleaned to avoid permanent damage.

How should I store the skirt when not in use?

Store it on a skirt-specific hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking or losing its shape.

Is the leather skirt true to size?

The skirt is cut for a tailored silhouette; we recommend checking the size guide to match your specific measurements for the best fit at the waist.

Can the skirt be worn in rainy weather?

While durable, leather is susceptible to water spots. If it does get wet, gently wipe it dry and let it air dry naturally.

What kind of tops pair best with this skirt?

Due to the asymmetric hem and buckle detail, tucked-in slim-fit blouses or fitted knit sweaters work best to maintain the skirt's sculptural lines.

Troubleshooting

Buckle hardware feels stiff or stuck

Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism; use a soft, dry cloth to remove any debris from the buckle hinge.

Minor creases appear in the leather

Hang the skirt in a moisture-rich environment like a bathroom during a shower to let light steam relax the leather, or consult a leather care professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen leather skirt, avoid exposing it to direct, prolonged sunlight or high humidity, as these can affect the leather's texture and colour. We recommend storing the skirt on a proper skirt hanger with padded clips to avoid permanent impressions on the waistband or leather panels. Because this garment is crafted from leather, it is not suitable for home washing machines; it must be taken to a professional leather specialist for cleaning. If the item gets wet, dab it gently with a dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from any direct heat sources.
