The Founder
Shekinah Sofola
Tender Leather Care was born from a profound love for timeless elegance and a deep respect for the craftsmanship behind every luxury piece. Founded in 2018 by Shekinah Sofola, the studio began with one simple conviction: that the luxury goods people invest in deserve expert, honest, and personal care.
We understand the emotional connection you have with your pieces. They carry memories, milestones, and meaning beyond their material value. That is why we approach every restoration with care that goes beyond the technical, offering an experience that is seamless, personal, and truly exceptional.
Your legacy deserves the best. Let us help you protect it.
What We Do
Expert Care for the Pieces That Matter Most
The need to care for luxury leather is not a luxury in itself. Over time, even the finest pieces from Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci show the marks of a life lived. Every leather item should be periodically entrusted to someone who understands it.
At Tender Leather Care, you will receive a competent, professional restoration service from the hands of certified technicians. Our work is built on years of hands-on experience, specialist training, and a deep knowledge of the materials and construction methods used by the world's leading luxury houses.
We work with bags, shoes, small leather goods, and hardware across every major luxury brand. Deep cleaning, colour restoration, cobbling, re-shaping, gold plating, dyeing, and more. Just bring your piece, and we will make it as good as new.
