With this blog post we want to share with you some tips on how to restore an aged leather  
item.

We all have a leather bag, wallet, belt, or any other leather item that we love, but desperately needs to be restored.

That's why, we decided to share with you what happened the other day at Giardini. Rachele, Chief edge paint advisor, brought one of her favorite bags (that should be retired but she loves) at work.

As you can see from the picture above, the leather edge on this purse it's very ruined and the most part of the paint is no longer present.

In order to not give up to her favorite bag, Rachele asked our lab to use their experience and knowledge to try to **bring the purse back to its original glow**.

Technicians are really confident in Giardini's products so they accepted the challenge.
