TYPES OF MATERIALS:
leather
- Clean your leather shoes regularly and condition them periodically to keep the material soft and prevent cracking.
- Protect them from water and stains, allow them to air dry naturally, and store them in a cool, dry place with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
SUEDE
- Brush regularly with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and restore the nap, and spot clean stains using a clean cloth with a small amount of white vinegar or suede cleaner.
- Avoid water whenever possible, and apply a suede protector spray to guard against moisture and stains. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally and absorb excess moisture with a towel.
LACE
- Lace shoes require gentle care to preserve their delicate structure.
- Hand wash with mild detergent and lukewarm water, and spot clean stains by gently blotting with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fibers.
DENIM / FABRIC
- Denim and fabric shoes are relatively easy to maintain with regular care. Gently clean using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water, and spot clean stains as needed.
- Avoid soaking the material or using harsh chemicals, as this may cause fading or damage. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
EMBELLISHMENTS
- Embellished shoes featuring crystals, diamantes, or buckled finishes require delicate care to preserve their unique, handcrafted details.
- To clean, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust, and gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth for heavier dirt.
- Avoid harsh cleaning products, solvents, or alcohol, as these may damage the embellishments.
METALLICS & PRINTS
- Metallic and printed shoes require gentle care to preserve their delicate surface finish.
- Avoid excessive wear and friction, as this can cause the finish to fade or peel, and note that smooth surfaces may develop natural creases over time.
- To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately away from direct heat.
- Avoid using cleaning products with solvents or alcohol, as they can damage or remove the finish.
PATENT LEATHER
- Patent leather requires gentle care to maintain its glossy finish. Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and smudges, and buff lightly with a dry cloth to restore shine.
- Avoid scratches, prolonged heat, and contact with other materials (especially patent leather on patent leather) that may cause colour transfer.
PVC
- PVC shoes require careful handling to maintain their clear, glossy appearance.
- Over time, they may develop fogginess, yellowing, or show fingerprints with regular wear.
- To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately to prevent marks.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, sunlight, and humidity, as these can accelerate discoloration.
SATIN & SILK
- Satin and silk shoes require delicate care to preserve their smooth, luxurious finish.
- Gently spot clean using a soft cloth with a small amount of mild detergent, and avoid rubbing to prevent damage or water marks.
- Keep away from moisture, oils, and rough surfaces, as these materials are prone to staining and snagging.
TYPICAL CONCERNS

- The combination of synthetic materials, glues, and treatments used to enhance the shoe's durability and appearance can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for the distinctive "new shoe smell."
