Garment Care Tips | Margaret’s Expert Team
Expert cleaning, restoration, and maintenance for your luxury garments
Your luxury leather, suede and fur garments represent significant investments that deserve extraordinary care. At Margaret’s Cleaners, we’ve perfected the art of professional leather cleaning, suede restoration and fur care over generations. Our specialized techniques ensure your garments maintain their butter-soft textures and pristine appearance for many years.
Why Professional Leather, Suede & Fur Care Matters
Today’s luxury leather, suede and fur garments feature delicate, butter-soft textures and sophisticated craftsmanship. These natural materials require specialized care that goes far beyond traditional dry-cleaning methods. The natural beauty of skin comes with inherent complexities – lack of homogeneity and unpredictability that doesn’t exist in conventional fabrics.
Trusted by Premium Designer Brands
We regularly care for garments from the world’s most prestigious fashion houses:
Hermès • Yves Saint Laurent • Coach • Fendi • Chanel
As one of North America’s largest and most experienced leather cleaners, Margaret’s has developed proprietary techniques specifically designed for the unique challenges these materials present. Each garment requires careful assessment of its specific needs and limitations to ensure we restore your piece to its original showroom-fresh condition.
