FAQs

Can I iron this skirt?

No, you should never apply a direct iron to faux leather as it can melt the material. Use a steamer from a distance if necessary.

Does the material have any stretch?

The faux leather is designed to be structured and sculpting, offering very limited stretch compared to jersey or cotton skirts.

Is the purple color vibrant or dark?

The purple is a rich, deep hue that serves as a sophisticated alternative to black, making it easy to style with neutral tones.

How should I store the skirt to maintain its shape?

Always store the skirt hanging vertically using a professional skirt hanger to keep the hem straight and prevent fabric memory creases.

Is this suitable for machine washing?

No, machine washing can damage the faux leather finish and the integrity of the seams. Spot cleaning is the recommended maintenance method.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface creasing

Hang the skirt in a warm bathroom for 15-20 minutes to allow steam to relax the faux leather material, then smooth it out gently with your hands.

Minor surface marks or dust

Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water to gently wipe the affected area; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, versatile aesthetic suitable for day-to-night transitions
  • Tailored fit provides a clean, professional silhouette
  • Durable, easy-to-clean faux leather construction
  • High-waist cut offers comfort and secure wear

Cons

  • Faux leather can be prone to creasing if folded incorrectly
  • Limited stretch compared to fabric skirts
  • Requires careful storage to avoid surface damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made of faux leather, avoid machine washing. To maintain the material, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then air dry away from direct sunlight. When storing, always hang the skirt on a skirt hanger with clips rather than folding it to prevent permanent creases. Ensure it is kept in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from drying out or sticking to other garments. The UK size 12 fits true to standard retail sizing; however, since it is a structured piece, consider measuring your natural waist to ensure the high-waist fit is comfortable for your specific body type.
