Flair in the City

Functional as it is fashionable, Patent Leather fashion items are my favorite trend of the season! High-gloss sheen makes any wardrobe sizzle. And it no longer has to remain black... how cool is that? This rainy season, this trend gets lovelier than ever.

Did you know?

Although patent leather first appeared commercially in 1822, the process for making patent leather was first invented in 1799 by an Englishman, Edmund Prior, who patented a process for painting leather with dyes and boiled oil, and finishing it with an oil varnish.
