Taking a shine to patina
Hello Leathercraft Masterclassers,
I’m looking for input on how to develop a nice patina using whatever method works well, probably some dye work and polish. The brand, Berluti is known for their distinctive patina, among other things. I’ve included a few snaps for those who mightn’t be so familiar with it. It’s akin to what one would see on bespoke cordovan shoes.
Can anyone shine(!) any light on how to go about this? Particularly with regard to the handle attachments and their sublime gloss. Has anyone got an interest in this or has anyone been successful developing this for their own work?
Gratitude, in advance. Stephen

Especially when you get some d*ckhead sergeant wanting to see his pink panther moustache in them. I didn't know Saphir back then. It was Kiwi and elbow grease. And lots of it. On both counts.
Back to business and I'll pick myself a few bottles of Orion when I can. Suggestions for burgundy's, cognacs and midnight blues would be welcome.
