"Giving is Always in Fashion"...Skip Pas, Creative Director
This statement continues to be one of the hallmarks of Skip's creative approach for San Francisco based West Coast Leather. Former North Beach Leather Assistant to the designer, he has been in the leather business since 1985 creating elegant designs in leather clothing for the luxury market. Creative Director and Designer Skip Pas' designs appear on TV, in film and national fashion magazines and have a big celebrity following. West Coast Leather adds new collections each season in a vast array of supple soft Italian lambskin in colors and textures keeping up with the latest trends the leather industry can offer. Their garments are handmade in California factories by master craftsmen. From lace and leather dresses, fitted corsets, skirts, pants, and blazers to exotic motorcycle jackets, their designs continue to evolve each season, translating current styles on the runways to amazing leather creations. West Coast Leather‘s new lizard mini shorts were just featured in an article and video in this month's May Esquire Magazine on super model Chrissy Teigen on the etiquette do's and don'ts of attending live concerts.

My name is Avery Belle and I am an up and coming model based in Southern California. Modeling has always been a dream of
mine and I am now pursuing it to the fullest and with luck and timing I can find myself doing more magazines, events and working
with great companies like West Coast Leather. For more photos and booking information, contact me at bookaverybellenow@gmail.com
Again I'd like to say thanks to West Coast Leather for making beautiful quality clothing and their fantastic photographer Carl Simpson.
Carl Simpson Bio-Carl developed a passion for photography while accompanying his big brother on photo journalist assignments. After
working in the computer industry for a few years, he started dabbling in landscape and freelance action sports photography as a creative outlet.
He later discovered that location fashion and swimwear photography was more enjoyable since it enabled him to interact with creative people on a
regular basis. This has lead to a number of opportunities to work with upcoming L.A. and S.F. Bay Area models and designers. His goal
is to become an agency staff photographer and to shoot for Victoria's Secret and Sport Illustrated one day. For more information about

West Coast Leather’s exclusive Anniversary Collection is now available at their boutique.
West Coast Leather released their exclusive Anniversary Collection at New York Fashion Week in early September and it is currently available at their Design Boutique at 290 Sutter Street in San Francisco. West Coast Leather’s Anniversary Collection launched with the new Swedish cosmetic brand DIVAdence by entrepreneur Jenny Samuelson on Friday, September 9, 2011. The show took place at District 36 in New York City in collaboration with Swarovski and featured a runway show by West Coast Leather and Victoria’s Secret. For the DIVAdence launch, Fashion Director Skip Pas designed DIVAdence branded unique gifts for the VIP star-studded event. Skip created white pearlized cosmetic bags in black and white leather with hand lacing and platinum lining. He also designed three unique leather purses with Swarovski crystals and three different Limited Edition decorated leather jackets with Swarovski crystals for the event. Skip and Jenny originally met and decided to collaborate because of their mutual appreciation of crystals in design.
At New York Fashion Week, West Coast Leather Designer Skip Pas previewed a full collection of French Lace & Leather wear, with many of the pieces embellished with Swarovski crystals. He showed his elegant side with new sophisticated leather designs in rich Ferrari colors: white and champagne pearl, deep blue, grey slate, and rouge hues. The collection includes coatdresses, sexy skirts and long trench coats over evening dresses embellished with Avencon lace, intricate bustiers and exotic animal print creations. West Coast Leather showcased their luxurious side with intricate decorated Swarovski jackets, washed leather jackets with exotic inlays and hardware and their signature corset collection. Skip collaborated with O’Eve, a European lingerie designer to create a new leather and lingerie collection that was featured at this show. Also featured and shown with West Coast Leather designs were Cocoa Jeans from Colombia, a sexy decorated jean line sold at West Coast Leather. All these pieces are available at their Design Boutique located in San Francisco.
Design and Fashion Director Skip says, “My goals of growing a luxury leather brand continue with unique collaborations and designs, taking leather to new heights each season. One of Skip’s trademark design concepts is that “Black Leather is Always in Fashion.” As West Coast Leather grows, they continue to add complementary lines that look great with leather, like mesh and chain jewelry from Liquid Metal, Pyrate Style jackets and coats from Germany, Dark 8 Designs, Rogue State from New York and Ren Ellis, southwestern influenced military specialty leather jackets.
