Sanctuary Clothing Perforated Vegan Leather Moto Jacket
Sanctuary Clothing (Couture Inspired line) · Clothing & Accessories > Outerwear > Jackets
Era / Decade
2010s (Mid-to-Late). The style of the inner tag and the specific 'couture inspired' branding were common in Sanctuary's production during the mid-2010s peak of the moto-jacket trend.
Material
Vegan Leather/Polyurethane (PU) with polyester lining. The surface has a smooth synthetic grain and features laser-cut perforated diamond panels on the shoulders and upper arms.
Condition
Fair to Good. There is visible 'peeling' or delamination of the synthetic coating on the shoulder area where the perforated holes are located. The structural integrity is fine, but the surface wear is typical for aged vegan leather.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the moto style is a classic, the market is saturated with faux-leather jackets, and the peeling condition significantly reduces buyer interest.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$15.00 - $35.00
Estimated Retail Value
$129.00 - $159.00
Comparable Sales
Similar Sanctuary vegan leather jackets in excellent condition typically sell for $35-$50. Jackets with visible peeling or surface damage generally sell for under $20 or are sold as 'flawed' pieces in bundles.
Description
Edgy and modern Sanctuary black vegan leather moto jacket featuring a classic asymmetrical zip front and silver-tone hardware. This piece stands out with its unique laser-cut perforated detailing on the shoulders and sleeves. It includes zippered hand pockets and a notched lapel with snap-down detailing. Fully lined and designed with a slim, contemporary fit. Perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with denim for a rock-and-roll aesthetic.
Key Features
Brand recognition (Sanctuary is a consistent seller in mid-tier markets), trendy 'biker' silhouette, unique perforated texture, and functional zippers.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The inner neck label 'Sanctuary Clothing Los Angeles' matches known branding for this era. Quality of stitching and zipper pulls are consistent with Sanctuary's retail standards.
Flaws to Note
Significant peeling/flaking of the vegan leather coating, particularly around the perforated holes on the shoulders. Users should be aware that once PU leather begins to peel, it cannot be easily repaired and will likely continue to sheds bits of plastic coating.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms are best for mid-brand contemporary clothing. It would not perform well on eBay due to the high volume of similar items and the condition issue.
Selling Tips
Be extremely transparent about the peeling on the shoulders to avoid returns. Use keywords like 'Vegan Leather', 'Moto', 'Biker', and 'Perforated'. Photography should include a close-up of the tag and the texture of the perforations. List this item during the fall transition (September-October) for maximum visibility.
