Wallis Petite Black Faux Leather Pleat Detail Jacket - Size 12 UK

Faux leather is an artificial material designed to look and feel like genuine leather. This jacket uses faux leather to provide a stylish, classic aesthetic without using animal products.

For best results, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for small marks. For a more thorough clean, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Always air dry on a padded hanger and never machine wash or tumble dry.

This jacket is designed as a stylish outer layer for transitional seasons or as an indoor fashion piece. While it provides some warmth, it is not intended as heavy winter outerwear and should be layered accordingly in colder temperatures.

Petite" sizing indicates that the jacket is proportioned for individuals who are typically shorter than average (e.g., under 5'4"). This means shorter sleeves, a shorter torso length, and adjusted shoulder width for a more tailored fit.

It is generally not recommended to iron faux leather directly as high heat can damage or melt the material. If creasing is an issue, try steaming the jacket from a distance or hanging it in a steamy bathroom. If absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth over the faux leather and iron quickly.

Its sleek black color and collarless design make it incredibly versatile. It can be dressed up with a skirt and blouse or worn casually with jeans and a t-shirt. It's also excellent for layering over dresses or with tailored trousers for a smart-casual look.

The pleat detail is integrated into the design. Follow the general faux leather care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the pleats and ensure proper air drying on a hanger to maintain their shape.

Please refer to the specific size chart provided by Wallis or the retailer where you purchased the jacket. This will provide detailed measurements for UK sizes to help you find your best fit.

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and restore shine. For creases, hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a fabric steamer at a safe distance. Avoid direct heat from irons.

Immediately spot clean the area with a soft cloth dampened with water and a tiny drop of mild soap. Gently blot, do not rub aggressively, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue. Air dry.

Faux leather can sometimes feel stiff if not dried properly or after long storage. Gently flex and wear the jacket to help it regain its suppleness. Ensure it was air-dried thoroughly on a hanger.

While designed for petite frames, individual body types vary. Ensure you consult the brand's specific size chart. If it's a sizing issue, consider exchanging for a different size if available, or trying a non-petite version if your height/proportions are borderline.
