Our specialists have extensive experience addressing all of the common types of damage sustained by leather pieces from daily use or accidents.

Over time, leather goods may undergo breakdown from body oils, fading of color and finishes from exposure to the elements, or staining from dyes in clothing as a result of regular use. Depending on the type and extent of damage, we can bring your pieces back to life and recommend products for care and cleaning to keep them looking beautiful for years to come. When damage is more extreme, it is important that it be addressed with specialty equipment and repair techniques implemented right here in our shop. We can restore finishes, remove stains, and bring back the glory of your piece through methods not available to the consumer for home use.

We also understand that sometimes accidents occur - spilled wine, burns, scratches or tears from pets, moving damage - and we are here to help relieve the stress associated with such damage. Most of the leather we see on a daily basis can be repaired. Even if your existing leather can not be restored to its former glory, we can reupholster pieces or insert new leather panels custom-matched to your existing color and finish.

Restoration and repair are terms in the industry that are commonly confused, so let us shed a little light on the differences to help you understand what option is best for your particular piece. Repair can be thought of as a science, while we see restoration as a subtle art form. Damaged items may be repaired to restore the precise look and feel of a piece prior to when the damage occurred; however, for restoration the ultimate goal is to maintain the original integrity of the piece which may include certain key components, the original leather itself, or particular finishes. With restoration, the objective is often to restore and protect, without eliminating the original charm of the piece. It is crucial to determine if the piece will be handled or used on a regular basis or if it is intended for display purposes only.

Here at Total Leather Care, we are experts in restoration of fine leather goods - from antique furniture to trunks to automobile interiors. Our specialists will work with you throughout the process to align your personal goals with the necessary elements to maintain and protect your piece for years to come.

Leather products require regular care and maintenance to keep them in prime condition. Leather that is exposed to body oils, water, and other contaminants should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain the original coatings and to prevent damage to the leather itself. Many people are unaware of this crucial aspect of caring for their most treasured belongings, leading to damage that could have otherwise been mitigated with proper care. The good news is that most leather can be adequately cared for and maintained by the consumer without professional help, as long as the correct products and methods are employed.

We invite you to explore our internally developed leather care solution - Leather Only - the only true single-step cleaner, conditioner, and protector on the market today. Leather Only was born out of our day-to-day business restoring and maintaining bespoke leather goods, and we use it in our workshop as well as in our homes. The product has been continuously improved over the three decades that it has been in small-batch production in our Houston workshop. You can rest assured that Leather Only is a sincere product, a product that we decided to share because we were disappointed in the alternatives available on the market. We are not a conglomeration mass-producing products for a profit; we are real people, with real leather that we love and want to last for generations.

When regular maintenance has been neglected over a significant period of time, your piece may require professional intervention. Our specialists can clean and maintain your leather, either directly in your home or in our local Houston workshop, as well as provide recommendations and training on proper care and maintenance of your specific piece. If you’re unsure about what your leather requires, simply reach out to us, and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.
