Our espadrilles are crafted with natural materials like jute, cotton canvas, and leather. To ensure your shoes stay beautiful and last longer, follow these simple care instructions.
The Golden Rule: Keep Jute Dry
The most important thing to remember is that jute and water do not mix. The natural jute sole acts like a sponge; if it gets completely soaked, it can swell and lose its shape. Therefore, you should never wash your espadrilles in a washing machine or submerge them in water.
Cleaning Canvas Espadrilles
- For the canvas upper: Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with cold water and mild soap. Gently rub any stains. Do not soak the fabric.
- For the jute sole: If the jute gets a little dirty, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove dry dirt or dust. If there's a specific stain, lightly dab it with a damp cloth, being careful not to wet the jute excessively.
- Drying: Always let your espadrilles dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources (like a radiator or hairdryer) or place them in direct sunlight, as this can fade the colors and damage the materials.
Cleaning Leather & Suede Espadrilles
- Leather: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. You can use a specialized leather cream to maintain hydration and shine.
- Suede (Ante): Use a special suede brush to remove dirt. Always brush in the same direction. For tough stains, you can use a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner. Keep suede away from water to prevent water spots.
