Care Instructions

• Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after each wear
• For deeper cleaning: damp cloth with mild detergent, then air dry away from heat — light-coloured uppers show dirt easily, frequent gentle care preserves the Blanc de Blanc tone
• Brush suede panels gently with a suede brush — never use water on suede
• Protect with a suede & canvas waterproofing spray before first wear
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources
• Store with shoe trees in a cool, dry place to maintain shape
