Product Information

The Faux Leather Buttoned Mini Skirt from Chic Atelier gives you the look of a black leather mini without the animal product, the price or the breaking-in period. This is an acetate fabric with a leather finish, not hide, and it behaves better than the real thing in almost every practical respect.

A row of buttons runs down the front and gives the skirt its vintage register. The cut is straight rather than flared, sitting from an empire waist through the hip to an above-knee hem, which keeps the silhouette narrow and lets the buttons draw a clean vertical line through the middle.

Slight stretch in the fabric matters in a straight mini, because it lets you sit down without the skirt riding up or straining at the seat seam. Black and solid, it is one of those pieces that works across a wardrobe: a knitted jumper and boots in autumn, a plain vest and trainers when it is warmer. Wipe clean with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, and hang it up rather than folding it, since a fold pressed into a coated fabric tends to stay there permanently. Avoid direct heat and never iron a coated finish, as it will lift and blister under a hot plate.

Leather Look, Better Behaviour

This gives you the look of a black leather mini without the animal product or the price that comes with it. It is an acetate fabric with a leather finish rather than hide. In almost every practical respect it behaves better: lighter, softer and far easier to care for. You get the attitude without the upkeep.

Buttons Down The Front

A row of buttons runs down the front and gives the skirt its structure and its focal point. It stops a plain black mini from reading as a basic. It also breaks up the surface so the finish does not look flat. Small detail, and the reason this skirt photographs well.

No Breaking In Required

Real leather takes weeks to soften and never quite forgives a warm room. This one is comfortable the first time you put it on. Pair it with a knit and boots in winter or a plain t shirt in summer and it works either way. Chic Atelier keeps it in the range because black minis get worn to death.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it real leather?

No, it is an acetate fabric with a leather finish. That keeps it lighter, softer and free of any animal product.

Does it need breaking in?

Not at all. It is comfortable from the first wear, which is the main practical advantage over the real thing.

Do the buttons open?

The button row runs down the front and gives the skirt its structure, breaking up the surface so it never looks flat.

Is it a winter only skirt?

No. A knit and boots make it winter, and a plain t shirt with sandals keeps it working in warmer months.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the surface clean and keep it away from direct heat. Hang it rather than folding so the finish stays smooth.
