Care Guide
WEAR
Leather will wear naturally over time.
Avoid wearing in wet weather, as this can cause damage to the leather. If your pieces do get wet, take care when drying and do not use a heat source to dry them. Dry in a well ventilated, airy location and not in direct sunlight.
Please take care with water, perfumes, salt, oils, moisturisers, sunscreens, fake tan and other cosmetics. These products will cause discolouration to the leather and any metal hardware.
STORAGE
We recommend keeping your shoes and leather bags in the dust bag provided when they are not being worn. Ensure they are not flattened so they retain their shape.
Always store your leather away from the light and heat and out of any moisture.
CLEANING
To keep the leather area clean, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. We recommend using slow gentle motions when cleaning as to not apply pressure on the leather.
For full treatment seek professional help from your local cobbler for assistance.
FOOTWEAR CARE
When using high quality natural materials, there are a few more steps to take to ensure that your footwear lasts to its full lifespan. We suggest taking the time with a little maintenance on your leather shoes to help them last a lifetime.
We recommend investing in a good quality leather conditioner. Keeping the leather well-conditioned helps the leather stay hydrated, as well as buffing away any minor scuffs or scratches.
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces such as sand and gravel as this will erode the leather. Avoid contact with solvents and salts.
Avoid water as this may cause soles to delaminate.
Using a stretched leather sole provides a luxurious finish and being a soft natural material allows the foot to breathe during wear. These are not suitable for heavy duty wear. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces such as sand and gravel as this will erode the leather. If you would like your stretched leather soles to be more durable we suggest seeing your local cobbler who can fit a rubber sole.
Suitable for heavier duty wear. This high performance material is waterproof, less likely to slip and provides a comfortable, durable wear on harder surfaces.
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces such sand, gravel and grass. A good quality stiletto heel cover will protect the heel when wearing them at outdoor events.
Always store suede in the dust bag provided to prevent sun fade and marking. Re-dye black suede using a high-quality suede dye. Consult your local shoe repair store to ensure this process is done with care. All of our suede shoes come pre-sprayed with waterproofing. This helps prevent water marks and general staining, for more extensive suede care we suggest consulting your local shoe repair for any advice they may have on the best products to use to protect your suede shoes.
Please take care with perfumes, salt, sunscreens, solvents, moisturisers and fake tan. These products will cause the metal hardware to discolour and erode over time.
JEWELLERY CARE
To ensure the longevity of your plated jewellery pieces it’s important to care for them. Plated jewellery is delicate and can be prone to fading, scratches and dents. If properly looked after your jewellery will last in good condition.
Avoid applying perfumes directly onto the skin whilst wearing your jewellery. Perfumes, oils and lotions can cause discolouration and tarnishing.
Clean jewellery with a soft cloth to remove any dust or dirt.
Seek professional help with restoring shine to your pieces.
Store your jewellery in the bag/box provided to avoid scratching your pieces.
We suggest removing gold plated jewellery when exercising, swimming, and showering.
SOCK CARE
Our Cashmere Bed Socks are designed as bed socks only, due to the delicate nature of the fabric we advise not to wear them with any type of footwear which include slippers as the materials can rub together causing holes to occur. Cold hand wash only, do not wring or twist, lay flat to dry.
BAG & WALLET CARE
To ensure the quality of your bags avoid prolonged direct exposure to light and heat. We recommend storing leather bags and wallets in their original dust bag when not in use. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, salt, oils, moisturisers, sunscreens, fake tan and other cosmetics. If your bag gets wet, pat dry to remove any excess moisture and dry in a well ventilated, airy location and not in direct sunlight.
BELT CARE
We recommend investing in a good quality leather conditioner. Keeping the leather well-conditioned helps the leather stay hydrated, as well as buffing away any minor scuffs or scratches.
SLIPPER CARE
Our slippers are handmade using natural materials. There may be variations in sheepskin texture.
