Dear JEEVES Clients,

Thank you for choosing JEEVES. I wish you a very pleasant August, as you eventually return from seasonal travels. If your leather items are looking tired, stained or simply in need of care, now is the perfect moment to refresh them.

Often overshadowed by regular laundry and dry-cleaning garments, leather handbags, jackets, shoes and accessories deserve dedicated attention. At JEEVES, we’ve been quietly perfecting our Leather and Handbag Cleaning and Restoration Services, and I’d like to share how we care for these delicate pieces, and why this season is ideal for rejuvenation.

Leather Cleaning

Our cleaning process is entirely performed by hand, using our exclusive in-house solution. This allows us to:

• Sanitize and disinfect the exterior with precision
• Steam and deep-clean the interior lining using gentle techniques
• Assign a single technician to oversee each item for consistency and care
This same method applies to leather jackets, suede shoes and other accessories, where we invest the time to ensure every item is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised.

Leather Restoration

Restoration is an art form we take pride in. Based on the leather type, our team may choose:

• Water-based paints for surface correction on softer hides
• Dyes that absorb into the material for a natural, lasting finish, including patent leather
Not all leathers can be painted, and not all take dye. We carefully evaluate each item to ensure we use the right method that maintains texture, colour integrity and authenticity. Whether your item needs a full recolour, a small corner touch-up, or removal of a scratch or spot stain, we’ll suggest the best approach to restore its original beauty.

Why Now Is the Right Time

Hong Kong’s humidity and seasonal shifts can be very harsh on leather. If you've noticed mould spots, a musty interior, discolouration or simply that your items look worn, now is the time to act. Leather is a living material, and it reacts to its environment, with the right care it can last for decades.
Our team is happy to inspect your piece and recommend a tailored treatment. Whether it's a beloved handbag, a pair of suede loafers or a vintage jacket, we’ll help breathe life back into it.
