W5468 Trousers High-Waisted Stretch Faux Leather Side Pleats Removable Sash Belt — Black Women's Italian

Faux Leather That Moves. A Belt That Transforms.

The W5468 is a high-waisted regular trouser in stretch ecopelle — 50% polyester, 50% polyurethane, a faux leather that stretches and recovers with the body rather than restricting it. Side pleats at the hip add volume and a tailoring reference that elevates the construction beyond a standard faux leather trouser. A concealed zip and button closure at the front, an elasticated back waistband, and functional pockets complete the base garment. The removable sash belt with metal buckle is the detail that changes everything: worn, it defines the waist and adds a fashion-forward accessory layer; removed, the trouser reads as clean and architectural. Two garments in one.

Why This Trouser Is Different

• Stretch Ecopelle (Faux Leather): 50% polyester, 50% polyurethane — a faux leather engineered to stretch. The polyurethane coating replicates the visual and tactile qualities of genuine leather; the polyester base with its stretch component allows the ecopelle to move with the body without cracking, pulling, or distorting at the hip and seat.
• Side Pleats: Pleats at the hip add controlled volume and a tailoring reference — a detail that distinguishes the W5468 from a flat-front faux leather trouser and gives the high waist a more structured, considered silhouette.
• High Waist: The waistband sits above the natural waist, elongating the leg and anchoring the pleated volume below — a proportion that makes the faux leather surface read as more architectural and intentional.
• Removable Sash Belt with Metal Buckle: The sash belt is the transformative detail — worn, it cinches the waist and adds a fashion-forward accessory layer, the metal buckle reading as hardware-forward and precise against the ecopelle surface; removed, the trouser reads as clean and architectural. The belt is an accessory included with the garment, not an afterthought.
• Concealed Zip and Button Closure: A tailoring-grade front closure — the zip is hidden behind a placket, the button sits flush. The W5468 has the finish of a considered garment.
• Elasticated Back Waistband: Comfort and fit adjustment at the rear, while the front maintains the flat, tailored line of the concealed closure and pleats.
• Functional Pockets: Integrated without disrupting the pleated faux leather silhouette.
• Made in Italy: Constructed in Italian ateliers with the stretch ecopelle expertise and pleat precision that the W5468’s construction demands.

The Moment You Put Them On

The W5468 goes on like a trouser and reads like a statement. The stretch ecopelle moves with the body immediately — the polyurethane surface replicates the visual weight of leather without the restriction, the side pleats opening at the hip to allow full movement. The high waist sits above the natural waist and defines the silhouette: the leg appears longer, the proportion more deliberate, the pleated volume at the hip more architectural.

The sash belt is the decision point. Worn loosely around the waist, it adds a fashion-forward layer — the metal buckle catching the light against the ecopelle surface, the sash creating a waist definition that the trouser alone does not impose. Removed, the W5468 reads as clean and precise — the pleats and high waist doing the work without the accessory. Both versions are complete. The choice is yours.

The Art of Stretch Ecopelle

Ecopelle — Italian for “eco-leather” — is a coated fabric engineered to replicate the surface qualities of genuine leather through a polyurethane coating applied to a textile base. In the W5468, the composition is 50% polyester, 50% polyurethane: an unusually high polyurethane content that produces a surface with the visual weight and tactile quality of genuine leather, while the polyester base provides the dimensional stability and stretch that allows the ecopelle to move with the body. Standard faux leather fabrics crack and distort at stress points — the hip, the seat, the knee — because the coating cannot stretch with the base fabric. The stretch ecopelle of the W5468 is engineered to avoid this: the polyurethane coating is formulated to flex with the polyester base, maintaining the leather surface through movement and extended wear. Applied to a high-waisted trouser with side pleats, the stretch ecopelle must perform at multiple stress points simultaneously — the pleats opening and closing at the hip, the high waist stretching across the torso. LA HAINE INSIDE US chose stretch ecopelle for the W5468 because it achieves the visual authority of leather in a construction that demands flexibility.

How to Wear It

• Belted Statement: Wear the sash belt loosely around the high waist, the metal buckle centred — the ecopelle trouser and sash belt create a complete look that needs only a simple top to be editorial and considered.
• Clean Architecture: Remove the belt and wear with a fitted turtleneck or bodysuit — the high waist, side pleats, and ecopelle surface read as architectural and precise without the accessory layer.
• Leather Monochrome: Pair with a black leather or faux leather jacket — the stretch ecopelle trouser extends the leather aesthetic from top to bottom, the side pleats adding tailoring complexity to the total look.
• Contrast Texture: With a chunky knit or textured wool top — the smooth, slightly lustrous ecopelle against a rough, matte surface creates a material tension that reads as intentional and editorial, the sash belt adding a hardware accent.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold (30°C) or wipe clean with a damp cloth — the ecopelle surface is best preserved through minimal washing
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to preserve the ecopelle surface and pleat structure
• Do not iron — heat will damage the polyurethane coating
• Do not bleach
• Store hanging to preserve the pleat structure and ecopelle surface
• Sash belt: hand wash separately or wipe clean
