Cabi Distressed Vegan Leather Skirt

Ascend to a higher style plane with this unreal skirt by Cabi. Made of vegan leather, it is constructed of four panels in the front and back that are stitched together in a cross pattern, referencing traditional leather skirt fabrication and also creating a very subtle moody, gothic vibe. Adding to the sublime rockstar-chic/futuristic Matrix edginess is the treatment of the faux leather itself, which is distressed and slightly crinkled. The resulting texture is mesmerizing, recalling the famously gorgeous "hammered leather" that designer Rick Owens so often employs in his own designs. This skirt is buttery soft and supple--it's some of the best vegan leather I've felt, very close to a delicate lambskin. Cut in an elegant pencil shape, this piece features slash welt pockets in front, perfect for tucking your hands in while strutting down the street with a bit of playful attitude. It also features a small vent at the back for ease of movement. These considered details, along with the careful tailoring, keep things sophisticated. Yet the hammered leather and exposed back zipper also make this skirt feel modern, fresh and daring. That tension is so cool, and results in a stunning garment that is timeless and very high-fashion. Pair it with black leather (or faux leather!) stiletto boots, a black knit turtleneck tucked in and a dark gray oversized blazer for a killer look you can wear on the street or in the office. Chic, glamorous, vampy, beautiful--this skirt is everything!
