Careful maintenance is critical to preserve the beauty of these creations, which are made to last. Below are some tips on how to look after your product as carefully as possible.
The jewel footwear are unique creations that require special care from the upper material down to the smallest detail.
General directions
Footwear with stones, crystals and pearls should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid immersing metal parts in water, and keep away from alcohol (perfumes, solvents), creams and oily substances, as these can cause oxidation and color changes.
If the footwear comes into contact with water, it is recommended to dry it away from heat sources.
Prolonged exposure to the sun should be avoided as it may cause discoloration of the upper materials.
Avoid any contact with abrasive surfaces.
Specific directions for various materials in the upper
Suede / Leather
These materials are of natural origin, and are very delicate and susceptible to deformation.
Therefore, we strongly recommend storing the product in a dry place and using a brush with soft bristles for cleaning.
Velvet
For cleaning, use a cloth dampened with water; do not apply leather cleaning products.
Lace
For this precious and refined material, we recommend avoiding contact with water because it may cause color changes.
How to store the footwear
We recommend storing our products in places which are not exposed to sunlight, moisture or heat.
Footwear should be stored in the appropriate dust bags so as to protect it from dirt and light.
