# Textured Leather Mini Skirts Rag & Bone's 'Toni Mini Skirt' Boats a Flattering Fit and Bold Design By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-05-08 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toni-mini-skirt References: [net-a-porter](https://www.net-a-porter.com/ca/en/product/1050410/rag___bone/toni-patent-leather-mini-skirt) & [rag-bone](http://www.rag-bone.com/?fjksndf) Urban designer brand Rag & Bone recently unveiled its 'Toni Mini Skirt,' which is constructed from a sleek patent-leather, and boasts a simplistic silver buckle at the top that further contributes to the edgy aesthetic. The skirt is meant to hit just above the fingertips, and has a high-waisted design. This gives it a flattering fit on any wearer, as it's made to accentuate the smallest part of the torso, while drawing attention to the legs and lengthening them. The skirt is made from a supple leather material, which holds its shape and doesn't stretch as it's worn. This makes it a durable staple to add to one's closet, as the heavy duty material and hardware are likely to stay in mint condition for years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Patent-leather Fashion:** Opportunities to innovate by using patent-leather in various fashion items to create a bold and edgy aesthetic. - **High-waisted Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating high-waisted designs that accentuate the smallest part of the torso while lengthening the legs. - **Textured Mini Skirts:** Trending aesthetic of textured mini skirts being featured in urban designer brands. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunities for fashion designers and brands to incorporate textured leather and patent-leather in high-waisted designs for mini skirts and other clothing items. - **Retail:** Innovative retail and e-commerce stores can capitalize on the trend of textured leather mini skirts by offering them in their product line. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing industries can focus on creating more durable and long-lasting leather materials for fashion items like mini skirts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Leather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb.md) - [Sporty Modular Cargo Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-cargo-midi.md) - [Elevated Leather Blazer Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-kendall.md) - [Luxe Leather Trenchcoats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md) - [Inaugural Slick Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone1.md) - [Leopard Mini Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-mini-dresses.md) - [Glamorous Drawstring Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-fleming-drawstring-bag.md) - [Vegan Leather Collection Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw25-vegan-leather.md)
