Dark Elegance merges Gothic aesthetics with refined tailoring. Cleather tops featuring precise cut-outs, structured dresses, and pieces that never compromise on elegance – handcrafted in Berlin and designed for those who wear dark with high expectations.
The collection is defined by our signature Cleather technique: printed organic cotton jersey with a leather look. This isn't plastic "pleather," but Cotton Leather – breathable, shape-retaining, and completely vegan. Each Cleather piece is the result of extensive craftsmanship: developing patterns, hand-printing the fabric, precise sewing, and placing every detail with intent.
From tops with architectural cut-outs to long dresses with clean lines and structured pencil skirts: all Dark Elegance pieces demonstrate meticulous workmanship. Seams are perfectly placed, proportions are carefully considered, and every detail serves a function.
The cuts strike a balance between body-hugging and fluid – nothing is too tight, and nothing is oversized without a reason. Dark Elegance means maintaining control over silhouette and material. You wear the piece; it doesn't wear you.
Premium materials are a standard: Cleather, structured cotton, and sophisticated fabric blends. We work with textures that command a presence – no cheap fabrics that lose their shape after three washes.
All pieces are created locally in our Berlin studio. Fair production, small batches, and intensive handwork. Dark Elegance takes time – and we take that time.
Pair these pieces with Black Essentials for contrast, with Graphic Styles for more edge, or wear them solo for maximum impact. Dark Elegance works in the club, in everyday life, or on stage.
Cleather. Structure. Precision. This is Dark Elegance.
