Womens Genuine High Waisted Black Leather Mini Pencil Skirt
"Pencil skirt" is used loosely, so it is worth saying what it actually means, because it describes a specific shape and that shape has specific requirements in leather. This one is a high-waisted pencil cut at mini length. It sits in our women leather skirts range.

What makes a skirt a pencil skirt
A pencil skirt is narrower at the hem than at the hip — it tapers. That is the whole definition, and it is what separates it from a straight skirt, which has the same width at hip and hem, and from an A-line, which widens. The taper is why a pencil skirt reads as fitted and formal, and it is also why it needs a vent: narrowing the hem shortens your possible stride, and in leather there is no give to make up the difference.
High waist plus pencil
These two work together. A high waistband grips at the narrowest part of the torso, which stops the skirt sliding down — a real problem on fitted leather, which has no stretch to hold itself in place. The high rise also makes the taper look intentional rather than tight, because the eye reads the whole line from waist to hem.
Sizing a fitted leather skirt
Two measurements, both mattering. Natural waist — the narrowest point, usually just above the navel, not where you wear jeans. Hip at the fullest point, because the skirt has to pass over it to get on and then sit smoothly. Get one of these wrong on a fitted leather skirt and the material cannot compensate. Send both with the Custom option if they fall in different standard sizes, which is very common.
Care and storage
Dry cloth only. Never machine wash; use a leather specialist. Hang by the waistband loops, since folding a fitted skirt over a hanger bar sets a crease across the front.
Sizing and made to order
Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom taking natural waist, hip, and the length you want. Every skirt is cut after your order.
