It refers to the shoe's design aesthetic, which intentionally mimics a slightly worn-in, 'second-life' look with a prominent leopard print pattern in reddish-orange tones, giving each pair a unique character.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner if needed. Gently wipe the animal print with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive rubbing on the print.

The design aims for a lasting aesthetic. However, like all footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning methods can affect the print's vibrancy. Proper care and storage will help preserve it.
