Leather and COP26
The main mission was for manufacturers and industry bodies to remind people that leather is a sustainable by-product and needs to be used to help heal the environment
Following on from my latest holiday inspired womenswear leather loves, I have once more worked with the wonderful team at MATCHESFASHION to bring you my latest edit of curated leather menswear for the upcoming holiday season!
From the stunning reversible suede and leather jacket, and split toe penny loafers by Maison Margiela, to Amiri’s zip pouch leather harness or Alexander Mcqueen’s leather harness shoulder belt—if Givenchy’s leather cap Chelsea boots don’t get your attention, my pairing of Bottega’s bonded leather panel jean and twill and leather coat will!
Edgy leather tailoring, biker street, urban chic—a bit of sport lux and some 70’s inspo—take your own style confidently forward with these incredibly key finds, sure to be loved throughout the holidays and well and truly into next year!
So whether looking for the perfect holiday look or simply a gift for a special holiday someone, I hope you enjoy the below edit as much as I loved putting it together for you!
Wishing you all the very best for a very happy and healthy holiday season and enjoy your Leather Loves!!

Cattle hides are by-products of the meat industry. By using them to make leather we save them from landfill.
As fashion begins to find its way again, designers continue to celebrate leather. In the Fall 2021 season of Haute Couture—among the layers of tulle, ruffles, lace and satin—leather unlocks a brave new world of accessible Haute Couture.
