FAQs

What material is the Bottega Veneta Riva mule made of?

The upper is made of braided nylon raffia. The lining is lambskin leather, and the sole consists of a leather insole and a leather and rubber outsole.

How should I clean the raffia upper?

Gently wipe the raffia with a soft, dry cloth. For minor spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturation. Never use harsh cleaning agents.

Are these mules suitable for wide feet?

The mule design and square open toe offer a generally accommodating fit, but individual comfort can vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible.

What is the 'Macadamia' color?

Macadamia is the designer's name for a sophisticated, neutral beige color.

Can I wear these mules in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these mules in wet weather. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the raffia and leather components.

Where are these mules made?

These Bottega Veneta Riva mules are proudly made in Italy.

What comes with the purchase of these mules?

The mules include their original shoe box.

Troubleshooting

Raffia appears scuffed or snagged

Gently try to smooth out minor snags with your fingertip. For more significant scuffs, professional leather/raffia repair may be needed.

Mules feel slightly stiff initially

Wear the mules indoors for short periods to allow the leather lining and insole to mold to your feet. Natural wear will soften the materials.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

The rubber injection in the sole provides grip, but new leather soles can be slippery. Consider adding a thin protective sole layer at a cobbler for enhanced traction if needed.

Color transfer from lining

New leather linings can sometimes transfer color, especially in humid conditions. Avoid wearing them with light-colored socks or hosiery until the color stabilizes. If it persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Riva mules are designed for adult women and are versatile for pairing with a wide range of casual and semi-formal attire. They are best suited for warm weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the raffia upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the mules in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original shoe box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Sole Care: The leather and rubber sole should be kept clean. If the leather sole becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Avoid Moisture: Protect the raffia and leather from prolonged exposure to rain or moisture, as this can damage the materials.
