Product Insights
The Icône Supple Faux-Leather Topstitched Flared Skirt, at $79 CAD, combines a suede underside, metal zipper, and topstitched seams with a stretch PU that recovers shape and lasts 7–8 years with proper care—rivaling $100–$120 brands—but requires careful maintenance (alcohol-free wipes, no oils, early crack repair) and is best suited for cool, sun-protected wear.
Verified claims
- Value
- At $79 CAD, suede underside and metal zip are details of $100–$120 brand skirts.
- Material
- Suede underside, supple PU, metal zip, and topstitched seams enhance both feel and durability.
- Fit retention
- The A-line cut, elastic fibers, and fixed zip waist maintain silhouette over time.
- Materials
- Skirt uses 100% PU with a stretch base, suede-like lining, and metal zipper, with a lifespan of 3-5 years (7-8 with conditioning).
- Fit and structure
- The A-line cut keeps the skirt from clinging to the legs during movement, and topstitched seams prevent stretch distortion so the skirt springs back after wear.
- Care
- Clean with a damp microfiber cloth—never alcohol-based wipes—and use only silicone-based conditioners; avoid natural oils and seal hairline cracks early with a PU repair kit to prevent peeling.
- Durability
- Durability exceeds fast-fashion PU: metal zip, topstitched seams, stretch recovery, and 3–5 year PU lifespan extendable with proper care.
- Lifespan
- With proper care, the faux leather lasts 7–8 years instead of the typical 3–5.
- Shape retention
- Flare depends on A-line cut, not fabric tension.
- Stretch performance
- Stretch faux-leather moves with the body and recovers its shape.
- Comfort
- The soft suede underside, made from recycled polyester, sits directly against the legs and feels more comfortable than typical unlined or nylon faux-leather interiors.
- Build quality
- Metal zipper, recycled-polyester suede underside, topstitched seams, and shape recovery are construction details rare at this price.
- Weather suitability
- Best worn in cool weather; avoid direct sun to prevent material damage.
- Interior material
- The skirt's suede-like underside is made from recycled polyester, giving it a soft, skin-friendly feel and making the garment fully animal-free.
- Silhouette
- The skirt reads clean and sleek rather than heavily textured: the faux-leather face is smooth, and the main visible details are the topstitched seams and the metallic zip at the center back.
- Waist sizing
- Icône's size chart matches natural-waist measurements to sizes as XS 25", S 27", M 29", and L 31.5"; choose your usual Icône size rather than sizing up because the stretch faux-leather has some give and the A-line cut isn't tight through the hips.
- Finish
- The stretch-PU face has a soft, slightly silky sheen rather than a hard mirror gloss; light reads as a dull glow along the flares, and the topstitched seams plus metallic back zip are the main points of contrast.
- Storage
- Store the skirt at 15–25°C (59–77°F) with 40–60% relative humidity; drier air draws out plasticizers and causes brittleness, while high humidity can promote mold and sticky breakdown of the coating.

| Supple Faux-Leather Topstitched Flared Skirt: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, A-line midi in super-soft stretch faux-leather that flares gradually from the hip to a softly curved hem, with topstitched panels, an exposed metal zip at the center back, and a suede underside made with polyester from recycled plastic. It comes in Black and Fawn/Tobacco in sizes X-Small through X-Large, and measures 27 inches (69 cm) long in size small. Note that the smooth, low-to-medium-gloss surface shows soft creasing where it bends, as seen in product images.[1,2,3,4] | Front-Slit Faux-Leather Straight Skirt: Choose this if you want a straight, slim high-waist skirt in supple stretch faux leather, with an offset front slit, topstitched seams, a soft faux-suede underside, and a hidden back zip; the recycled-polyester content may appeal if sustainability matters to you. It comes in black, chocolate/espresso, and taupe across X-small to X-large (black runs X-small/x-small through large, taupe up to X-large), and measures 27.5 inches (70 cm) long in size small.[5,6,7,8] | Flared Button-Front Midi Skirt: Choose this if you want a versatile midi skirt that works from office to weekend, thanks to its breathable, lightweight fabric that reviewers describe as soft and pleasant in the heat, plus a patchwork button-front design in a red/burgundy color family. It is a good option for petite wearers, whose reviewers report the flattering midi length does not overwhelm shorter frames. Note that the waist elastic reportedly runs small and can be unyielding, so buyers between sizes may need to size up, though the rest of the skirt may then fit too loosely.[9,10] |
