You will never regret adding this black leather blazer to your closet. With a two-button closure, flap pockets, and quality leather fabric, this Coach style is a forever classic.

Sizes: XS-XL

Colors: Black

Material: Lamb Leather

Customer review: “Can I give it 5 MILLION stars? This jacket was perfect! The arm length, the shoulder span, the way it fit my body — made it look like a custom made to order jacket!”

An affordable alternative to a genuine leather jacket, this piece is also buttery soft. Its sculpted cut adds a nice line to the body.

Customer review: “It’s truly a versatile piece with some lovely modern details that elevate it beyond the ordinary. I particularly love the subtle shoulder pads; they give it a structured, contemporary silhouette without being overly exaggerated. The cut is incredibly flattering—it’s easy to dress up with tailored trousers and heels for a chic office look, or dress down with jeans and sneakers for a more casual, weekend vibe. The zipper detailing on the sleeves is a cool touch. I appreciate that it’s functional whether zipped up or left open, offering a variety of styling options.”

Sizes: 0-12

Colors: Espresso Brown

Material: Lamb Leather

Customer review: “Love it. Fits perfectly. The leather is beautiful and the color is a gorgeous brown.”
