Swipe to see what Toronto's summer is quietly doing to your leather right now. ➡️

We talk a lot about winter damage — but June through August has its own threats, and most people don't catch them until fall.

1️⃣ UV Fading — direct sunlight bleaches leather colour faster than almost anything else.
2️⃣ Humidity & Mold — stored leather in Toronto closets can develop mold during humid months.
3️⃣ Sweat Absorption — breaks down insoles and linings from within.
4️⃣ Rain Saturation — an untreated leather shoe caught in a Toronto downpour can dry stiff and permanently tide-marked.

Every one of these is preventable — and if it's already happened, most of it is reversible.

Bring your pieces in for an assessment. We'll tell you exactly what's going on.

June 1st. The patios are open. The suits are lighter. The sun is finally sticking around.

But those shoes you put away in March? The ones that walked through every salt-slicked sidewalk from King Street to Union Station? They remember every step.

Here's what most people don't realize: the damage doesn't stop when you stop wearing them. Salt residue continues to break down leather fibers from the inside out. Improper storage causes creasing and cracking.

June is your window.

At Novelty, we've spent 30+ years watching what Toronto winters do to good leather — and we know exactly how to reverse it. Bring in what winter left behind. Give your leather a summer worth having.
