Love Your Leather

Style – 25 February 2014

Are things looking a little tired, worn and wrinkled? Need some professional enhancements? No, we are not talking about your face… but your most precious leather goods.

As daunting as it might seem, you need to clean your leather products. But clearly we can’t pop them on a spin cycle. You’ve invested in a quality product, so leave your leather cleaning to the professionals.

Few people realise that you can rejuvenate and restore leather – bags, wallets, shoes and jackets – to make it look as good as new. So before you rush out to buy a new Birkin, why not try cleaning or colour restoring your old favourite. It will add years to the life of your accessories and save you a fortune!
