Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is permissible for women to wear leather clothes on condition such clothing do not resemble the clothing of fussaq and fujjaar (sinful people and open violators of Shariah).

And Allah knows best
