Cleaning
- For the raffia upper, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris using a soft brush or cloth. If needed, you can lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and gently wipe the raffia surface. Avoid soaking the raffia to prevent damage.
- For the upcycled tyre soles, wipe them clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or stains.
- For the leather soles, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or stains. Avoid excessive moisture to protect the leather.
Drying
- After cleaning, allow the raffia upper and soles to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this may cause fading or deformation.
Storage
- When not in use, store your raffia shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Consider stuffing the shoes with tissue paper or using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Protection
- To protect the raffia upper, you can apply a fabric protector specifically designed for natural fibers. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- For the leather soles, periodically apply a leather conditioner or protector to keep them moisturized and prevent cracking.
