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!

CONTENTS

Set of capital letters 6mm high + numbers 0 - 9

Acrylic double-headed hammer

The Alphabet Stamp set of letters and number is a great way to personalise your work. But you can also get creative with the set to make shapes, symbols and creatures; upside down Vs make great animal ears, a horizontal zero makes a nose and I's make good whiskers.

The hammer has special acrylic heads so that it doesn't damage the end of your stamping post.

Here's a few tips to help you to get stamping:

• The letters simply clip onto the end of the post
• Hold the post upright and push it down firmly onto the surface before you strike it with the hammer
• Keep focused on the end of the post where you want to hit it
• It's better to strike once hard than lots of gentle taps
• To avoid wasting your leather and making a mistake on your finished work, why not practice your stamping first on a thick piece of cardboard?
• Use a piece of masking tape to space out your letters evenly
• It's worth noting that simple letters like 'J' and I' need a more gentle hit than complex letters like 'B' and 'M'

How lovely to make something yourself and to then give it a personal touch. Combine it with our Make Me Keyring Kit and you're all set for some fun making!

OUR ETHOS:

We use the finest Italian veg. tanned leathers in our kits from small tanneries, members of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata Al Vegetale in Tuscany

The leathers are supple, waxy and wonderfully tactile

The pieces for our kits are cut from the sections of leather that we can't use in our shoemaking, so they help us to reduce waste.

Veg. tanned leather is a natural, organical material; the tone and depth of colour of the leather varies and will change with use and age, developing their own beautiful patina over time.
