Can we wear genuine leather in summer?

When you think of genuine leather in the world of fashion, you usually associate it with a classic fall/winter material, where it primarily adorns jackets, pants and boots. But to simply do without the beloved material for half a year until you can wear it again? No way! Misuri shows you how you can wear leather in the warm season! Here are 5 ideas for the fashion-addicted.

Only genuine leather for summer

First, it is important to go for genuine leather, as it is much lighter and more breathable than the artificial alternative. Made in Italy leather goods are carefully handcrafted, which makes them unique pieces. The only store in Florence's historic Santa Croce leather district, Misuri, still operates according to time-honored traditions of artisanship and the label proves that it is genuine leather. Because leather is so durable and robust, it complements us for all seasons - sometimes a whole lifetime! Therefore, the higher price pays off in the long run. Especially if you choose a classic leather jacket or bag! But is leather good to wear in the summer?

1. Bright colors in spring and summer

Nothing seems more like summer than a white bag with silver or gold details. A combination so fresh and summery that you can't look past this trend. Misuri’s Isabella Bag is a two-tone reversible tote bag made of hammered calfskin with side tassels. This large tote bag has a main compartment and a removable pouch in shiny silver to keep items safe. It’s also available in other bright colors such as red, green, or ivory.

2. Light lambskin without lining

If you choose a cotton garment without lining, the difference from the degree of warmth is almost non-existent. Therefore, a leather jacket is suitable even in the spring or cool summer evenings. The classic Chanel leather jacket is made of lambskin, which is so soft and light that it is similar in weight to a jacket made of any other fabric. In bright red and classic Chanel round collar, double zipper in the middle and two side zipper pockets, this ultimate leather jacket is suitable for both day and evening in the summer! Even the men are guaranteed not to sweat in the light lambskin Biker leather jacket.

3. Perforated lambskin for more air permeability

Since leather by its nature is not very air-permeable and breathable, we must help out. The recesses in the leather create cool patterns or floral prints or minimalist, graphic shapes. Perforated leather, that is characterized by small, uniform holes, also adds lightness. Coat PE13805 is stylish and unique, made of perforated lamb leather. An elegant style with a Chanel collar, perfect for a scarf or for yourself. The jacket is absolutely lightweight and decorated with laser cut design and a golden color adding to its sophistication. The coat can also be worn as a dress, or with casual jeans.

4. Cut-outs for an airy lightness

In bright summery colors of white and light brown with horizontal cut-outs comes the relaxed and casual Eve tote leather bag, perfect for everyday life. In order not to lose any items, inside is a removable cotton bag with zipper. Leather does not always have to look heavy, as we see with Eve.

5. Unlined leather gloves

Traditional unlined Made in Italy gloves made of lambskin slip on your hands like a second skin. They are buttery soft and good to wear on cool summer evenings. The ladies unlined leather gloves in blush can be combined with any summer outfit due to their very delicate color. They have a small slit on the inside of the wrist for a comfortable fit and come in endless bright spring and summer colors and are an eye catcher with any outfit.
