A must-have for every woman's wardrobe, the faux leather jacket is a timeless piece of clothing that can be worn all year round.

Created by the Russian brothers Irving and Jack Schott in the USA in the early 20s, who initially used horsehides to sew solid, warm biker jackets, the faux leather jacket has changed a great deal, but retains its rock and rebel allure. It was stars Marlon Brando and James Dean who popularized the biker jacket in Hollywood films. A symbol of counter-culture in the 70s, with John Travolta as its icon, the leather jacket acquired its transgressive aura. Its grunge spirit was revealed in the musical punk era. Borrowed from the men's wardrobe, the leather jacket has become a fashion must-have for women!
