• Brief guide to polishing
• Shoehorn
• Large, natural horsehair buffing brush
• Natural bristle brush
• Natural polish applicator brush
• Saphir Creme Surfine shoe cream 50ml
• Saphir Pate de Luxe shoe polish 50ml

The bristle brush is great for removing dust and dirt without damaging the leather; the soft, horsehair brush is for giving the leather a good buffing after the cream and polish have been applied; and the natural bone handled brush is for getting polish into hard-to-reach areas.

When it comes to the polish itself, Saphir is our chosen brand, because it makes some of the best shoe care products in the world. Its formulas have been created to nourish and clean leather using natural waxes and solvents and are free from harmful resins & silicones.

It's all they'll need to look after their shoes, apart from an atomiser to spray water for glacage - readily available from most chemists - and a polish cloth, which we prefer to make by recycling soft, old t-shirts rather than buying new.

We use all of these products ourselves in our workshop to shine our Carreducker handsewn shoes before they are delivered to a client and in our Carreducker shoemaking school; in fact we have a separate set of polish and brushes for neutral, brown, black and burgundy shoes!

The post Leather Workshop Gift Voucher appeared first on Carreducker.

This superb book is a work of passion by Mark Brearley and Carmel King, a celebration of London manufacturing from the metal spinners, paint producers, gunmakers, foundries, fabricators and precision-engineers to independent workshops; with these often-hidden spaces, processes and people vivdly captured and brought to life by Carmel's photography and in the accompanying text by Clare Dowdy.

The book tells the story of 50 London businesses - from hand crafting propellers to designing and making bespoke footwear (yes, you guessed it) - workshops and factories where things are actually made, mended and restored.

It's a fascinating glimpse behind the doors at the processes and spaces that are generally hidden from view, and the people who work there, from sole traders to teams numbering in the hundreds; a timely celebration of the vibrant manufacturing scene that contributes so much to the creativity, vitality and economy of the city.
