Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased or wrinkled
Gently steam the affected area from a distance (do not touch the fabric with the iron) or allow the shoe to sit in a steamy bathroom for a short period. Avoid direct ironing.
Gold accents are tarnished
Gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a specialized gold polish sparingly on a small area, then wipe clean.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Wear the shoes on rougher surfaces like concrete or carpet to lightly scuff the sole, improving grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris.
Lace tassel is frayed
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. If the tassel is significantly damaged, it may need professional repair or replacement.

Compatibility:

Care:
Due to the delicate nature of the silk upper and leather accents, specialized care is recommended:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Do not expose to direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the silk and leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and physical damage. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for silk and leather to help repel stains, but always test first.
