BASIC CARE:
Never use solvents such as bleach, acetone, alcohol and cleaning detergents! A damp cloth with mild soap is essential.
If your shoe gets wet by accident, always dry it in the shade, as the sun or greenhouse can damage it, thus losing your warranty.
Try not to stock shoes. Storing them for a long period of time, without using them, can cause changes in their components, resulting in debonding and decomposition (hydrolysis), which does not characterize a manufacturing defect. If you have shoes stored that you haven’t worn for at least 1 year, how about doing a good deed and donating them to someone who can use them?
SUEDE
HOW TO CLEAN: never wet, to remove the dirt use a suede brush or dry toothbrush. Then, mix warm water and laundry detergent in a container and lightly wet the brush, dry it with a towel and lightly brush the shoe. Finally, pass a plush towel and leave the shoes to dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. After a few hours, rub the dry brush again, clockwise.
TIP! Apply waterproofing protector before using the shoe for the first time.
NOBUCK
How to clean: with a specific nubuck brush – which you find in shoe stores – remove the dirt from the shoe. Afterwards, carefully rub the spots that most need cleaning with a flannel or sponge soaked in a specific shampoo for the material and put the shoes to dry in the shade. To restore the color and the velvety touch, apply a renewing product and pass the brush you used at the beginning.
Tip! Apply waterproofing protector before using the shoe for the first time.
STRAW, WOOD AND CORK
How to clean: remove the dirt with a clean, slightly moistened flannel, wipe off any excess water with a dry cloth and let it dry in the shade.
