Specialist Material Care

Leather and suede ask for a different approach.

Leather and suede behave very differently to woven fabrics, and each hide has its own tannage, finish and colouring. Cleaning is only considered once the material and construction have been carefully assessed.

Because these materials can react in different ways, suitability is always considered on an individual, piece-by-piece basis.

Everyday Wear

Everyday wear leaves its mark.

Leather and suede can pick up dust, marks, odours and general wear over time as part of everyday use.

Professional cleaning can help refresh suitable pieces as part of considered garment care.

Delicate Finishes

A softer material needs a lighter touch.

Suede, nubuck and other delicate finishes are assessed individually to determine what treatment, if any, is suitable.

There is more to a piece than the hide you see.

Leather and suede garments may include linings, hardware, stitching and decorative detail — all of which can affect the appropriate cleaning approach.

Leather & Suede Cleaning FAQ

Questions, answered.

Not necessarily. Hide, tannage, finish, colour, condition and construction all determine whether and how a piece can be treated.

Suitable suede pieces can be assessed individually, as suede requires a different approach to smooth leather.

This depends on the finish and dye of the piece. We assess each item individually before proceeding.

Suitable leather bags and accessories can be assessed for appropriate cleaning and care.

Professional cleaning can help refresh suitable pieces, although results depend on the source and severity of the odour and the material involved.

No. Results depend on the type, age and history of the mark, as well as the material and any previous treatments.
