KANAZAWA in Cognac – A leather jacket that blends heritage with modern edge

The KANAZAWA by Cityzen is a women’s leather jacket that redefines the biker silhouette with a refined, contemporary twist. Crafted from fine sheep leather—soft, lightweight, and supple—it offers the elegance of lambskin with enhanced durability. The cognac hue, a rich, warm brown, adds depth and versatility, making it a timeless piece that evolves beautifully with wear.

A silhouette that flatters without sacrificing attitude

This jacket is all about precision. The slim-fit cut hugs the body, accentuated by a cinched waist and snug sleeves that taper at the wrists. The shirt-style collar, a subtle nod to classic workwear, softens the biker aesthetic while maintaining its rebellious spirit. The aged finish gives it an instant lived-in feel, as if it’s been part of your wardrobe for years. No fur lining means it’s lightweight enough for transitional seasons, yet substantial enough to layer over knits in cooler months.

Designed for the urban explorer

It’s the kind of jacket you reach for when you want to elevate a simple jeans-and-tee combo or add structure to a flowing dress. The slim proportions ensure it doesn’t overwhelm smaller frames, while the cognac colour—deep and luminous—pairs effortlessly with neutrals, earth tones, or even bold contrasts like black or camel.

Cityzen is a brand that bridges the gap between classic quality manufacturing and contemporary urban style. Known for reinterpreting iconic silhouettes—like the biker jacket—with modern cuts and premium materials, the label caters to those who seek timeless pieces with a fresh, wearable edge. Each design reflects a commitment to quality, from the selection of leathers to the precision of the tailoring, ensuring that every jacket feels like an investment rather than a trend.
