People trust us with their best pieces: designer clothing, handbags, luxury sneakers, leather and suede. If it’s valuable to you, we know how to handle it.
Before We Clean Your Luxury Item
- Identify it as a luxury item. Please tell us when an item is a luxury product. For service purposes, we classify items valued at $1,000 or more as luxury items.
- Condition photographs. If an item appears worn, damaged or has an unusual button or trim condition, we photograph it before cleaning to document its condition.
- Color testing. When light and dark colors are combined in one garment, we perform a colorfastness test before cleaning.
What We Care For
- Luxury clothing — fine and designer garments, cleaned by the method that suits each piece.
- Luxury sneakers — most pairs are cleaned by hand. Each pair is inspected first, and the soap, cleaning time and drying are matched to its leather, suede, mesh and glue.
- Handbags — leather, suede and fabric.
- Leather & suede — jackets, trench coats, pants, skirts, boots, shearling and suede bags.
- UGG boots and hats
- Rugs

Good to Know Before You Buy Luxury Clothing
- Decorative buttons — elaborate buttons may crack, chip or deteriorate over time.
- Heat-sensitive buttons — buttons that are sensitive to heat may be damaged during professional finishing and pressing.
- Contrasting colors — when white and black or other strongly contrasting colors are combined, consider whether a stained or color-transferred section can be replaced or repaired.
- Heavy beading — numerous beads and embellishments increase the risk of loosening or damage during wear and cleaning.
- Care-label restrictions — “Do Not Dry Clean,” “Do Not Wash” or “Spot Clean Only” can severely limit safe cleaning options and make stain removal difficult.
- Clean regularly — do not wait until soil and stains become clearly visible. Regular professional care helps protect the fabric, color and long-term value of a luxury garment.
