Water the flowers.
Pump air into the tires.
And what about your wife...?
People we spend our days with, and the favorite items we own.
Have we started to just exist alongside them, or simply use them without a second thought?
To spend a long time together, they require the care they deserve.
Love isn't just about giving things, but showing casual care and putting in the effort will surely deepen that mutual love.
The same can be said for those favorite leather shoes you went to such lengths to get.
If you keep wearing them, their shape will adapt only to the owner's feet, and the wrinkles that form will align with the owner's habits. But surely, that alone will lead them to lose interest in you soon enough.
Brush them when they get dirty.
Apply cream when they start to dry out.
At Circles, we carry QUOC PHAM, and we also provide the maintenance products for them.
TAPIR is a German manufacturer that uses only natural ingredients. After years of research, they concluded that only natural materials provide the best care for leather. They also disclose all information regarding the raw materials used and the countries of production.
At Circles, we carry Leather Pflege Cream for waterproofing and polishing smooth leather, Lederbalsam for deep nourishment and shine, and brushes for cleaning and polishing.
Of course, we can explain how to use these in the store, but I think the easiest way to understand is to use your own shoes, actually brush them, and apply the cream to learn how to maintain them together.
I know opportunities like this are rare, but this coming Sunday, May 20th, a leather shoe maintenance workshop will be held at our sister store, Culture Club.
