Leather and Suede Jackets and Coats
Leather cannot be cleaned like a regular coat. It is skin, and it has natural oils that keep it soft. Clean it the wrong way and those oils are stripped out, so the leather dries out, stiffens and eventually cracks. Suede is even more delicate, since the nap marks easily and water can leave spots.
Leather and suede jackets and coats are cleaned and conditioned with a process made for leather, so they keep their color and feel. Fall and winter are the busy months, so bring coats in early, ideally before the first cold snap.
Purse Cleaning
Handbags pick up a lot: hand oils on the straps, makeup and ink inside, and scuffs on the corners. Everyday bags and leather purses are cleaned and conditioned so they look cared for again.
Shoe Cleaning and Repair
Worn heels, thin soles and scuffs are usually fixable long before a good pair of shoes needs replacing. Heels, soles and scuffs are taken care of through our cobbler. Drop shoes off with your dry cleaning so it is one trip, not two.

Caring for Leather Between Cleanings
• Hang leather jackets on wide, padded hangers so the shoulders keep their shape.
• Store in a breathable cover, not plastic, which traps moisture.
• Keep leather away from heat sources like vents and car dashboards.
• If leather gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature. Do not use a hair dryer.
