Writing Slope Refurbishment 11 June 2013
Good evening Martin,
I picked up the writing box yesterday and was very pleased with the results of your work. You have certainly managed to reduce the impact of what was very distressed and brittle leatherwork on the lid. The colouration is much nicer and the scarring is hardly visible from further than ten feet. And the lock now works.
Thanks very much for a very skilful refurbishment.
Regards,
Tony
Top Hat Case from an American client 05 June 2013
Hi, Martin
Just wanted to let you know that the package has arrived and I'm extremely pleased. If I didn't know better, I'd think that the bucket was a well preserved original instead of a restoration. Fantastic work. Thanks.

As I told you; me and my bag have flown over 3 million miles together and am grateful that thanks to your fine work we can do another million or two
Once again many thanks and will not hesitate to recommend you in the future

Pastures new for a case which was refurbished 2 years ago 25 April 2013
Hello Martin
Perhaps you might remember a rather tatty & worn out leather document case we asked you to repair. It was originally a gift from me to my knewly promoted husband. He used it until it was not fit to be seen & then just put at the back of a cupboard. I used it, after you worked your magic, for a little over 2 years when Sec/Treas for an Allotment Association. I no longer hold these posts so now the document case is to be passed to a grandson who will use it at University.
Without your skills this case would probably have finished up in the dustbin but now its off on a new adventure.
Many thanks
Pat Hoare
Gladstone Bag Refurbishment 16 April 2013
Dear Martin,
I am writing to report the safe arrival of my refurbished and re-lined Gladstone bag this morning; the blue Tattersall check lining looks very fine indeed and the leather finish is just what I wanted.
I am absolutely delighted with the result and I am most impressed by your fine workmanship on it. I will recommend you to any of my friends who want similar expert work carried out.
Please add this to your Testimonial page if you wish.
Thank you so much.
Best wishes,
James
Period Vanity Case 16 April 2013
Dear Martin,
Just to confirm that the vanity case arrived safely this morning. It looks lovely and thank you so much for your workmanship..
It had sat on a high shelf in the linen room for about the last 10 years or more and I had considered disposing of it - but you have given it a new lease of life and I will take it on my forthcoming cruise on the Queen Victoria in June - eminently suitable for the Mauretania Suite which we have fortunately been upgraded to.
If I am ever in need of refurbishment for any other leather item, I will certainly know where to come in future.
Kind Regards,
Janet Pickles
