The 'TGC038 large shoe care set' includes the basics for keeping shoes looking like new, including two shoe brushes, shoe grease, a cotton cloth and three types of polish that are suited to caring for neutral, brown and black shoes. Tangent also sells a smaller shoe care set, which contains an assortment of fewer products. With the rise of the [minimalist movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-projects-hiking-boots), many conscious consumers are now investing in garment and accessory care products that will help with the maintenance and longevity of the products that they are so passionate about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rise of Minimalist Shoe Care Kits:** Opportunity for companies to create minimalist shoe care kits that align with the minimalist movement and cater to conscious consumers' desire for simplicity and longevity. - **Increase in Garment and Accessory Care Products:** Potential for businesses to develop and market care products for other garments and accessories, in addition to shoes, that align with the conscious consumer's desire for maintenance and longevity. - **Growing Demand for Unique Shoe Designs:** Opportunity for businesses to cater to the increasing consumer demand for unique shoe designs by offering shoe care kits that are specifically tailored to the care and maintenance of these one-of-a-kind shoes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** Potential for footwear companies to enhance their product offerings by including complementary shoe care kits that align with the rise of the minimalist movement and cater to conscious consumers' desire for simplicity and longevity. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for fashion brands and retailers to expand their product lines by introducing garment and accessory care products that align with the conscious consumer's desire for maintenance and longevity. - **Consumer Goods Industry:** Potential for companies in the consumer goods industry to develop and market care products for a range of garments and accessories, including shoes, that cater to the conscious consumer's desire for simplicity and longevity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Shoe Care Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-styler.md) - [Minimal Cat-Care Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mew-cat-care-set.md) - [Minimalist Sporty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shai-001-clean-slate.md) - [Luxurious Sandal Brand Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-new-care-essentials.md) - [Leather Care Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-care-collections.md) - [Sandal Brand Skincare Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-care-essentials.md) - [Beautifying Foot Care Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-3.md) - [Minimalist Supply Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimal-home.md) - [Multitool Maintenance Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leatherman-maintenance-kit.md)
