Portrait of Steven Skippen

Elevating the shining of shoes to an art form

Shoeshine, leather care and patina specialist

Steven helps people who care about their appearance, to look good by treating the care of their shoes as an artform.

We aim to encourage not only the businessman who you would expect to use a shoeshine service but also ladies and younger gentleman who maybe have a misconception of what shoeshine entails.

We desire to transform people’s views on shoes and to make caring for their shoes a priority

Yours shoes should be entitled to get as much TLC  as they need if you want to expand their longevity, and more to the point, if you want to look like a real gentleman.

Shoeshine for a lady

Shoeshine is so often thought of as a service only for men, but this is so far from the case.
