"Brift H Product Newsletter" Two special treatments to revive your leather shoes

Leather shoes that you thought you "might not be able to wear again" can sometimes be brought back to life through dyeing and washing. This time, we introduce "Recolor," which corrects fading, scratches, and uneven color, and "Wet Cleaning," which washes away mold and dirt from deep within the leather. Our artisans assess the condition of each individual pair and revive your leather shoes using the most suitable method.

"Re-dyeing" and "Re-washing." Two special care services to revive your leather shoes. This week, we are introducing two popular menus at Brift H: "Recolor" and "Wet Cleaning." Rather than just cleaning the shoes, both services involve assessing the condition of the leather and finishing them in a way that preserves as much of their charm as possible.

"Recolor": Rebirth by making the most of the leather's character

If you are concerned about fading, scratches, uneven color, or simply want to take a bold step and change the color of your shoes, we recommend Recolor. What we value most in our Recolor service is preserving the inherent texture of the leather. After thoroughly applying color to the leather using dye, we finish the shoes with careful polishing. While we may use pigments depending on the leather, we aim for the most natural finish possible without covering the leather more than necessary.

Recently, "black dyeing"—changing the color of leather shoes to black—has become especially popular. Shoes that have faded or have scratches and uneven color can be completely reborn by being dyed black. Another reason for its popularity is that black shoes are easy to coordinate with any outfit. Additionally, a trend to keep an eye on for the future is Recolor in shades of brown. Dyeing your shoes in chocolate or dark brown tones can brighten up your look. We also recommend enjoying the unique aging process that comes with brown leather. A pair you thought you might never wear again can take on a completely different appearance by changing its color. This is the unique joy of Recolor.

"Wet Cleaning": Removing mold from the roots

This year, we have seen an especially high number of requests for Wet Cleaning. We are receiving more inquiries about mold growing on leather shoes due to rain and humidity. Wiping only the surface may not be a fundamental solution to mold. At Brift H, we thoroughly soak water into the leather to wash it, ensuring the mold is removed down to the roots.

We carefully allow water to penetrate to the limit while checking the shape of the shoes and the condition of the adhesive, wash the inside of the leather thoroughly with specialized detergent, and then finish by polishing with care after drying. A major appeal of Wet Cleaning is that it not only removes mold but also restores the leather's original texture, resulting in a refined surface appearance.
