Stylish Genuine Lambskin Black Leather Short Mini Skirt for Women
On a mini skirt the hem is the most visible seam on the whole garment — it sits at eye level, it catches light, and it is where a poorly made leather skirt gives itself away. That is the detail worth talking about here. It sits in our women leather skirts range.

How a leather hem should be finished
There are three common approaches. A raw edge — leather cut and left, no turn, no stitch — which is legitimate on heavier hide because leather does not fray, but on soft lambskin it curls and softens into a wavy line. A turned and stitched hem, where the leather is folded up and sewn, which gives a crisp weighted edge and is the right answer on a light hide. A bonded hem, glued rather than sewn, which looks fine for a season and then lifts. On a lambskin mini the hem should be turned and stitched, and you can check by looking for a visible stitch line an even distance from the edge all the way round.
The lining hem matters too
The lining should sit slightly shorter than the leather, so it never shows below the hem when you move. A lining cut to exactly the same length will drop below the edge within a few wears as the leather settles. It is a small detail and an immediate tell of how carefully a skirt was made.
Why lambskin for a mini
Light enough to move rather than stand away from the body, soft immediately with no break-in, and fine-grained so it reads smooth rather than textured. The trade-off is that it marks more easily than cowhide — a garment to look after rather than to treat roughly.
Care and storage
Dry cloth only. Never machine wash; use a leather specialist. Hang by the waistband loops rather than folding over a hanger bar.
Sizing and made to order
Order by waist measurement, and send hip and the exact length you want with the Custom option — on a mini, an inch either way changes the garment completely. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the hem finished?
Turned and stitched, which gives a crisp weighted edge — the correct finish for a light hide like lambskin.
Why not a raw edge?
Raw edges work on heavy hide but curl and go wavy on soft lambskin.
Will the lining show below the hem?
No. It is cut slightly shorter than the leather so it stays hidden as the skirt settles.
Can I specify the length?
Yes, and on a mini it is worth doing — an inch changes the garment. Use the Custom option.
How do I clean it?
A dry cloth, and a leather specialist for anything more. Never machine wash.
