Why Recolour Your Portfolio?
With daily use, leather wallets wear naturally. Corners lighten, scratches appear and color can fade unevenly. These wear marks are not just aesthetic, they can also make your wallet less attractive and affect the perceived quality of this accessory. Recoloring a wallet means above all restoring its original shine while preserving the nobility of the material.

It's an environmentally-friendly approach to responsible consumption. Finally, recoloring offers a unique opportunity for personalization. You can choose to revive the original shade or opt for a different color, transforming your wallet into a unique piece.
How do TILLI Artisans Recolor Your Wallet?
Recoloring a leather wallet requires special expertise. At TILLI, our craftsmen begin by assessing the condition of the wallet to determine the necessary treatments. This initial step is crucial to guaranteeing a harmonious, long-lasting result.
The first phase consists of a thorough cleaning of the leather. All accumulated dirt, oils and residues are carefully removed to ensure optimal adhesion of the dyes. Once the leather is perfectly clean, our craftsmen lightly prepare the surface by removing any damaged top coats. This operation ensures that the new dye is applied evenly.
The choice of dye is an essential step. Our craftsmen select high-quality products adapted to the type of leather and the desired color. The dye is applied in several thin layers to achieve a rich, even color. Particular attention is paid to high-demand areas, such as corners and edges, to ensure an impeccable finish. Finally, a special protection is applied to seal the dye and preserve the leather's suppleness, while protecting it from external aggression.

Extending the Life of Your Wallet After Recoloring
Once your wallet has been recolored, it's essential to take good care of it to preserve the beauty and durability of the leather. Start by cleaning it regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive products that could alter the leather's finish, preferring products specially designed for its care.
Protect your wallet from direct heat and excessive humidity, which can weaken the leather and affect the dye. Store it in a dry place when not in use, and avoid overloading it, which can deform its structure. To keep leather supple, apply a nourishing balm every three to six months. This preventive care will keep your wallet looking like new for longer.
