Mason & Smith is Singapore’s first artisan shoe shining and leather care store that grew from an obsession with restoring vintage men’s shoes. Taking pains to preserve the traditional methods of shoe polishing, we are able to provide excellent and professional leather restoration services. Each and every piece of leather is polished strictly by hand and treated with the best leather care products available to lovingly restore its deserved lustre.

All items that arrive in our workshop are handled with care and carefully renovated and restored to its former glory. Our craftsmen devote individualised attention as they polish and clean the leather products, seeing it through from start to finish. This way, the restoration process remains consistent throughout. At our first and the only shoe shine bar in Singapore, clients are invited to indulge in our lounge services while waiting for their shoes to be polished. We also retail an array of premium leather care products for a discerning gentleman’s every need when it comes to polishing that pair of fine leather footwear – that pair of mirror polished footwear that promises to turn heads.

MASON AND SMITH - ENGLISH
Mason and Smith began its journey in 2013, initiated by John Chung at the age of 21. Choosing to forego a traditional university education, John embarked on his entrepreneurial path driven by an unwavering passion for footwear. Despite facing opposition from his parents, John remained resolute in his vision to establish his company.

To hone his craft, John sought apprenticeships and educational opportunities with esteemed shoemakers in both Hong Kong (2016) and Japan (2017) before returning to Singapore. It was here that he dedicated himself to mastering the intricacies of shoe shining and leather restoration,

At the core of Mason and Smith's ethos lies a commitment to elevating the artistry of leather care. Beyond preserving traditional craftsmanship, the brand has redefined the dynamics between shoe repair services and clientele. By integrating modern technology, innovative footwear solutions, and strategic social media engagement, Mason and Smith has reimagined the leather care experience.

Years of dedication have enabled John to cultivate profound expertise in shoe care, extending to leather goods for both men and women. .

Together with a team of artisans, a new department was also formed in 2022-2023 to provide artisanal repair and restoration services for luxury handbags under MARGO AND SMITH. Both stores are located in the same location, with both workshops side by side, forming cohesive synergies between the shoes and bags department.
