I've ordered a handful of items from Killstar over the last few months, although from a third party Australian website called Berserk (if you're in Australia I highly recommend them). I have a t-shirt and a set of two pillowcases that are honestly really nice, decent quality. Killstar leather however...is a totally different story. I have two pairs of boots and two bags from Killstar, the Broom Rider boots and the Mosh Moto boots, as well as the Zamara backpack and Stardust backpack. They're always pretty to look at on first glance but not so much the second time around. Expect some scuffing on your boots if you order shoes from them and definitely some messy gluing where the sole/heel/platform is attached. It's pretty clear that they weren't made with a lot of care. Easily look like they could have been made by some knock off Chinese company, exploiting their workers on less than minimum wage. But the real issue of course, really is the leather. You can tell just by looking at it, that it's very cheap and poor quality. When I put my Broom Rider boots up against my $30 Kmart boots of a similar style, it becomes even more obvious. The texture and quality is similar, although the Kmart boots leather actually happens to be much thicker and less likely to crease/fall apart. The leather on the bags are pretty much the exact same situation. Poor quality. Very far from 'Luxury' as Killstar likes to call themselves. I have a leather proofing polish that can be used on vegan leather and I have used it on all the boots I've had over the last few years, which is a fair amount. After application, you're supposed to give the boots in the sun (although not direct) for a few days until the polish fully absorbs. This helps waterproof the boot as well as soften the leather to prevent cracking, splitting and peeling. The polish works just fine on all my store-bought boots that were $50 max as well as my $170+ Demonia boots and $120+ Koi Footwear boots. However, not my Killstar boots. The polish didn't absorb even after weeks. I remember a time when Killstar used to be my favourite brand. What a shock that this was before I'd actually bought anything from them. So, suffice it to say, I'm unlikely to buy any leather products from them again, although I'm not overly likely to buy clothing from them either as their sizing charts are an absolute joke. All in all, Killstar usually just isn't worth the money you pay.
