ARF! (Hello!) , my name is Cookie and i’m a baby bootblack. I have a passion for boot-blacking and learning about leather care. My favorite things about boot-blacking are: learning the story of the leather im working on and how much meaning some pieces can hold,  making connections with people from different communities who are just as passionate about leather as I am, and seeing my skills improve. I am always open to new experiences and feedback on how i can improve my skills. Thank you for the opportunity and i can’t wait to meet you!
