FAQs

Can I wash this skirt in a washing machine?

No. Because the skirt is crafted from premium leather, machine washing will permanently damage the material. Professional leather cleaning is required.

How do I determine the right size for this skirt?

The skirt is cut for a structured, tailored silhouette. Refer to standard UK size guides and ensure your waist measurement aligns with the size 16 specifications for the best fit.

Is the leather skirt suitable for all seasons?

Leather is a versatile material. It provides excellent structure for cooler months, though it may be too warm for peak summer temperatures.

What shoes pair best with the asymmetric hem?

Pointed-toe heels or sleek ankle boots complement the dramatic hemline, while also balancing the length of the midi cut.

Does the buckle need to be adjusted frequently?

The buckle is primarily a design element to define the waist. Once adjusted for a comfortable fit, it should remain secure without needing constant readjustment.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the leather

Hang the skirt in a cool, dry area on a wide, padded hanger to allow the material to naturally relax. Do not use heat.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Consult a professional leather specialist or use a high-quality leather conditioner recommended for the specific type of finish.

Waist buckle feels loose or misaligned

Check that the interior fastenings are secure. If the hardware is damaged, have it repaired by a professional tailor specializing in leather goods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karen Millen Check Tailored Skirt remains in excellent condition, treat it with the care required for premium leather goods. Because this is a genuine leather garment, it should never be machine washed. Instead, use a professional leather cleaner to remove any surface marks and avoid exposing the fabric to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme moisture, which could cause the leather to stiffen or the color to fade. When storing, hang the skirt on a proper garment hanger that supports the waistline to maintain the structure of the buckle and overlay panels. Avoid folding the skirt to prevent permanent creasing in the leather. For daily styling, ensure the buckle is securely fastened and check that the draped overlay is laying flat before leaving the house to maintain the intended sharp aesthetic.
