This season, refresh your view of leather. Embossed, tanned, monogrammed or burned — choose your finish. Leather is never predictable, and as winter brings brisk air, layering fabrics is essential, but no outfit is complete without a leather accent. Move beyond the classic bomber and motorcycle silhouettes and explore subtle, refined leather pieces that elevate travel and everyday style.
