Who we are

We provide footwear and bag restoration services to UK based individuals and entities. As part of conducting these services, you provide us with information about you to enable us to conduct these services.
In instances where you are not our client, for example where we are instructed by a UK institution or entity, they will be the ‘Controller’ of this information and we will be a ‘Processor’.
