The boots

The burnishing around the toes and the back of these RM Williams Chinchilla boots had faded due to an unfortunate mishap with a leather conditioner. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we restored the uppers by stripping back the colour and then re-dyeing, re-burnishing and re-polishing the leather.

Redye and burnish

We began by cleaning the leather and carefully stripping the leather of its original colour, to prepare for a fresh application of dye. This also ensures that the new dye is absorbed properly and evenly across the surface. We then applied the dye to the leather in several thin layers to achieve the desired shade of brown.

With the leather dyed, we then used a series of leather creams and wax polishes to restore the leather’s original lustre and burnishing around the toes and the back of the boots.
