Get the Ugg out — spring cleaning for your Uggs

Fantastic before & after shots of a pair of vintage Emilio Pucci shoes

These shoes cleaned up so nicely I had to post them. The client who dropped these off was very concerned about the ability of the vintage fabric to hold up to cleaning, but our master cobbler did a great job. The after pictures look so great you’d almost think we just put dirt on these [...]

We at Meurice, however, see more than our fair share  of tags (or at least the damage they cause!) on suede or leather cleaning items. . . Of course, our skilled technicians [...]
