A part of our offering as a shoe brand is a patina service provided by our friend Greg Park aka Hancore, who is based in our New York City shop in Soho. For those that do not know, Greg Park has a long history in the arts, starting off like many patina artists as a painter (not walls, but art :-) later became one of the world's respected patina masters.

He was one of the first artists to work for French shoe brand, JM Legazel where he studied under Jean Marie (the JM) for several years before becoming one of his master patina artists that then taught the subsequent workers that came after him. Working with JM LeGazel brought him to the States whereby he eventually branched out on his own, offering more services than just shoe dyeing and now has a strong business patina'ing pretty much any leather good you can think of.

We always wanted to have a patina service to complement our niche footwear and Greg's skills and service was a perfect fit for the both of us! We hope that you think so too!
