What we can take on

Shine and conditioning

Dress leather cleaned, conditioned and finished by hand. The maintenance that keeps good shoes going.

Cleaning and restoration

Scuffs, dryness, salt lines and a dulled finish on leather that still has life in it.

Not sure which

Send photos with your request. We’ll look, tell you honestly what’s worth doing, and quote it before we start.
