Ladies Burgundy Leather Straight Long Midi Skirt Outfit
This burgundy leather midi skirt is cut straight and long, and midi length in leather has one requirement that shorter skirts do not: you must be able to walk properly in it. That is a construction problem, and how it is solved decides whether the skirt gets worn. It sits in our women leather skirts range.

The walking problem, and the vent that solves it
A straight skirt that reaches mid-calf has a hem circumference smaller than the arc your legs make when you take a normal step. In woven fabric the material gives a little and you get away with it. Leather gives nothing, so a long straight leather skirt without a vent either shortens your stride or splits at the back seam. A vent — an open slit set into the back seam from the hem upward — releases exactly the amount needed. It is invisible standing still and the reason the skirt is comfortable to walk in. Check for one on any long straight leather skirt.
Why burgundy works so well in leather
Burgundy sits between red and brown, deep enough to read almost as a neutral in low light and warm enough to look distinctly not-black in daylight. It pairs with cream, camel, grey, navy and denim, and it takes gold or silver jewellery equally. It is also one of the more stable dyes on leather — less prone to the fast fading a bright red shows, though still worth keeping out of direct sunlight.
Care and storage
Dry cloth only. Never machine wash, and use a leather specialist rather than an ordinary dry cleaner. Hang by the waistband loops — a long leather skirt folded over a hanger bar sets a crease across the front that does not come out. Give it space on the rail.
Wearing it
A fine knit tucked in and boots is the straightforward answer. Heels lengthen the line under a midi; flat boots keep it casual. Tights work underneath in winter thanks to the lining.
Sizing and made to order
Order by waist measurement and send hip and the length you want from waist to hem with the Custom option — midi length depends on your height, so it is the measurement most worth specifying. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I walk normally in a long leather skirt?
Yes — there is a vent set into the back seam, which releases the stride. Leather has no give, so a long straight skirt needs one.
Where will the hem fall on me?
Mid-calf on average height. Send the length you want with the Custom option if you are notably tall or short.
Is burgundy hard to match?
No. It pairs with cream, camel, grey, navy and denim, and takes either gold or silver jewellery.
Will the colour fade?
Less readily than a bright red, but still in direct sunlight. Store it away from windows.
How should I store it?
Hanging by the waistband loops. Folding a long leather skirt sets a permanent crease.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes. Choose Custom and send waist, hip, and length.
Is shipping free?
Yes, free worldwide shipping and secure checkout.
