Troubleshooting
Discoloration on silk upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth as per care instructions. Do not use harsh chemicals.
Creasing on the toe box
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on silk. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.
Suede or leather component scuffs
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth for light scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Lace tassel damage
The red gold coin lace tassel is a decorative element. Handle with care to avoid breakage. If damaged, it may be difficult to replace due to its custom nature.
