Cut from premium metallic leather and handcrafted in Ireland, the Manley Gold Mini Skirt celebrates the balance between strength and femininity. Every stitch, fold, and finish reflects our commitment to sustainable craftsmanship — ensuring you wear not just a look, but a legacy.

Style It Three Ways

  • Start with contrast. Pair your gold mini with an oversized white shirt or slouchy knit to soften the metallic edge. Add trainers or chunky boots for off-duty energy that still turns heads.

    Manley Tip:
    Balance the bold with the relaxed — confidence comes from contrast.

    🕶 Perfect for: brunches, creative meetings, or any moment you want to feel unstoppable before lunch.

  • As the lights dim, let the gold do the talking. Pair it with a structured Manley Leather T-Shirt, a sleek heel, and the Wayfarer Belt Bag slung crossbody. The result? Effortless glamour with edge.

    Manley Tip:
    Keep accessories tonal — silver and champagne hues amplify the metallic glow without overpowering it.

    🌙 Perfect for: date nights, parties, and those unplanned nights that become memories.

  • Turn the statement into a staple. Add opaque tights, a sharp blazer, and knee-high boots for a look that bridges seasons. The gold leather adds instant polish to neutral layers.

    Manley Tip:
    Think textures, not trends — the magic is in the mix.

    🍂 Perfect for: autumn lunches, gallery openings, or wherever effortless cool belongs.

Through the Designer’s Eyes

I wore a champagne-coloured leather mini skirt from Manley AW12 for a blind date — and three years later, I wore another Manley piece to say yes when he proposed. For me, clothes have always been memories stitched into form.
— Emma Manley, Founder & Creative Director

Every Manley piece begins with intention. The gold mini skirt embodies Emma’s philosophy — pieces made to be lived in, loved, and remembered.

The Manley Way — Style Micro-Tips

  • Style textures, not tones. Let the leather do the talking.

  • Pair gold with black, cream, denim, or soft pink for instant harmony.

  • Balance the mini with volume - oversized knits or boxy blazers.

  • It’s not just what you wear. It’s how you walk in it.
