Shoe Savers: Saving Soles for Three Generations


Shoe Savers can dye or refinish almost any leather shoe, handbag, or small leather article. We have a complete dye facility on the premises. All colors are custom mixed for each and every job we do. Colors are never picked from color charts, which are never accurate. All leather goods are completely chemically stripped. All cuts and nicks are filled and regrained to make the surface as smooth as possible. Next, the color coat is carefully sprayed using industrial spray guns for a natural and original looking finish. We are now using elastomeric acrylic resins for all of our dyeing and refinishing. These waterborne resins are extremely flexible, will not crack or peel, and dry completely odorless. Once dry these finishes will remain soft to the touch and feel just like the original factory finish. Your shoes and handbags will never look as though they have been "painted".  We can now dye and refinish leather shoes and handbags such as Chanel ,YSL ,Ballenciaga, Chloe, Jimmy Choo,  Gucci, and others that are soft, stretchy, and flexible that were never able to be refinished beforeAll footwear is polished and buffed by hand to impart a soft luster and all edges are recolored. All handbags are finished with a coat of waterborne urethane making for an extremely durable finish. We can use these urethane coatings to produce  finishes ranging from  totally matte to ones with a high gloss. We thoroughly clean all hardware of any excess dye or over spray regardless of how complicated or tedious before we return the handbag to you.   Exotic skins such as alligator and lizard are treated in a similar fashion. We use exotic refinishers in a variety of colors to impart a high diamond like gloss seen on many of these types of skins. We can also duplicate some metallic and pearl finishes.

On the subject of fabric shoes:  We have recently installed a completely new fabric dye system consisting of over 200 colors. Accurate color charts now allow you to pick a color directly from color swatches. We no longer have to try and mix colors from obsolete dyes and charts thus saving us time and you money.
