Exotic skin repair and conditioning.

With your exotic skin leather products, if you do not keep them conditioned you will find that they will begin to dry and peel. If you find that your exotic skin article already has splits or areas of peeling, you can repair this yourself before you condition it. To repair the splits or peeling, you will need to either go to a shoe repair or to a store that sells shoe repair type products because you will need Contact Cement especially for leather. Personally, I would recommend taking it to a shoe repair because they will repair ir for you and make sure that any excess glue is removed. Also, depending on the shoe repair sometimes they will do a quick conditioning of your product after they repaired it. The cost is usually very low, in most cases in my own business past I only charged $3.00 minimum for a repair such as gluing something or a minor sewing job. Be aware that there are some exotic skin repairs that may require sewing or some type of patching to place some type of thin leather behind the slit in order to provide extra strength.

Exotic skin products such as boots, shoes, bags/purses, belts, etc. tend to cost more to buy and some are extremely expensive. So before you just decide that the article is ruined take it to a shoe repair and have them look at it to see if they can repair it. If the first place you go says no or says they cannot or have never done that before, try another shoe repair. Not all repairmen have the same experience but they all have their own strengths.
