DAKOTA - Faux Leather Jacket

The DAKOTA jacket is the statement piece that creates a modern, confident silhouette. Made from a smooth, supple leather-effect fabric, it offers the luxurious look of leather with a lightness ideal for everyday wear. Its straight, mid-length cut makes it a versatile design, able to instantly elevate a casual outfit or complete a more sophisticated look.

The DAKOTA spirit

DAKOTA is the biker jacket in a mid-length, utility-chic version. The vertical topstitching structures the line and elongates the silhouette, while the large flap pockets add a functional dimension. Designed by Escandelle Paris in the biker jacket category, DAKOTA moves away from the traditional short cut to offer a longer, more structured, more modern alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Why a mid-length cut rather than a short one? To elongate the silhouette and structure it differently. The short biker jacket (POEMA, ANNIE) defines the waist up high; DAKOTA's mid-length cut falls to the lower back and brings a more formal dimension, almost like a light coat.

Does the smooth faux leather imitate leather well? Yes, the smooth, supple grain faithfully imitates nappa leather. The drape and suppleness make the piece feel natural for everyday wear, with no stiffness.

Why is the fastening concealed? For an impeccable finish. A visible zip would have added a sportswear feel; the snap-button placket on DAKOTA gives a more chic, more upmarket look — the outer line stays pure and uninterrupted.
