FAQs
Is this skirt made of real leather?
Yes, this garment is constructed from high-quality leather materials.
Can I wash this skirt in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Professional leather cleaning is required to protect the integrity of the material.
How should I store the skirt to maintain the shape of the asymmetric hem?
Use a full-width skirt hanger with clips or a padded hanger to allow the handkerchief hem to hang naturally without bunching.
Does the waistband offer any stretch?
As this is a leather tailored item, it features limited stretch. It is designed for a structured, fixed fit at the waist.
Is the check pattern printed or woven?
The pattern is a core feature of the design, integrated into the premium leather construction to maintain a timeless appearance.
Troubleshooting
Buckle hardware feels loose
Check the back of the buckle for any adjustable pins; ensure they are fully seated in the desired adjustment hole.
Leather appears dry or dull
Use a professional-grade leather conditioner specifically formulated for garment leather, applying it sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Minor creasing from storage
Hang the item in a humid environment (such as a bathroom while taking a warm shower) for a short period to allow the leather to relax; do not apply direct heat.

Care Instructions
- Storage: Always hang the skirt on a padded hanger to avoid creases in the leather or metal buckle hardware.
- Cleaning: Due to the leather material, do not attempt to machine wash. Use a professional leather cleaning service for any deep stains or routine seasonal maintenance.
- Exposure: Keep the garment away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the red dye, and store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or cracking.
