Leather jackets that will last a lifetime
A real leather jacket is a true investment piece. It's worth splashing that extra cash, as once you get it right, you're set for life.
With the focus more than ever on making sustainable sartorial choices and creating a wardrobe that's built to last, a leather biker jacket, leather bomber jacket or leather blazer that you can wear with everything is a great place to start.
Leather jackets have long been a staple for every season, adding edge to any outfit and creating timeless looks that never age. Eternally stylish, they can be thrown on over everything from feminine dresses to trending wide-leg trousers.

Celebrities and royals wearing leather jackets

Kate Moss has been stepping out in leather jackets since the 90s and she's still rocking them today, most recently pictured pairing a cropped style with a red blouse, maxi skirt and platform boots.
Before she became a royal, Meghan Markle was also often pictured in sleek leather jackets. She loved her Christy style from Club Monaco, which she wore with chic black dresses or skinny jeans and tees.
