Introducing A Style Icon: The Leather Jacket
Inspired by military flight jackets worn by men during World War One, the leather biker we know and love today was created by fashion designer Irving Schott for Harley Division in 1928. Rebellious beginnings led to the piece being adopted by Old Hollywood’s leading men and those at the forefront of ‘70s rock’n’roll. Enduring the century’s whims and trends, the leather jacket remains a style icon over a hundred years later.
Timeless and Fitted to Perfection
Designed in UK sizes 6 to 24, our women’s leather jacket collection is designed with inclusivity at the fore. Spanning mainline, Curve and Petite, each leather jacket we create is made to fit the contours of your body with specially placed darts, seams and panelling. Our Petite jackets are cut with a smaller frame in mind, perfectly proportioned and finished with shorter sleeves and lengths.
Leather Signature Biker Jacket
With special attention to detail, each leather jacket can be adjusted to fit as you like. Zipped sleeves offer ease of movement, while glossy buckle accents define your shape. Allowing for ultimate comfort throughout the day, this jacket earns its reputation as a perennial wardrobe favourite.
Luxury Comes Easy in a Leather Jacket
The ultimate curation of investment pieces, our women’s leather biker jackets are an ode to easy luxury. Crafted from our signature buttery hides, the leather is expertly treated, cut and moulded to fit the body. The smooth, supple finish creates a put-together look, so you can throw a leather jacket on over any outfit for instant polish.
Known for its contrasting glossy zippers, a biker jacket’s hardware is just as iconic as the leather itself. Silvery studs and zippers nod to vintage styling while glistening finishes elevate this classic jacket for modern times. Coupled with our signature Karen Millen branding and luxurious military buttons, the jacket effortlessly adds a premium feel to any look.
Leather is Durable Beyond Belief
Naturally durable, our leather jackets can withstand anything the day throws at them. All you need is a touch of elbow grease. There’s also no need for expensive treatments, as the simplest of household products can work miracles in seconds. At work? Make sure to have a bottle of nail varnish remover on hand. Perfect for removing ink marks, just dab the liquid on the leather using a cotton pad, then wipe off with water to remove traces of alcohol. When it comes to lifting greasy food stains, think baby powder. Simply sprinkle a little over the stain and let it soak up the grease overnight, brushing off gently using a cloth. Have your leather jacket on regular rotation? Clean the leather with soapy water at least every six months to keep it keep its lustre.
Caring for your leather when not in use is just as important. Our leather maintains its signature high quality when stored at room temperature and placed away from direct sunlight. As it can also easily absorb dye from other garments, such as denim, it’s best to keep your leathers together. Don’t forget to use a padded or wooden hanger, too, to maintain your leather’s shape.

Master Casual Style with an Edge

The perfect investment piece for off-duty styling, you’ll instantly look pulled together, even with the most casual of outfits underneath. A black leather jacket remains a classic for a reason, but for new-found leather converts, a lighter palette is a great introduction. Tonal brown hues give your casual look a dose of elegance, while blue leather pieces can be styled just as effortlessly as your go-to denim jackets.
Cropped lengths and ¾-sleeved styles also lend themselves perfectly to off-duty styling. Layer up with a knitted jumper and jeggings for your answer to tricky transitional styling dilemmas.

A bolder take on the classic, a red jacket is just as easy to wear when styling is classic and pared-back.
Think Leather Jackets for After-Dark Layering
