Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased or dirty
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn creases, a very light steaming from a distance might help, but proceed with extreme caution to avoid damaging the silk fibers. Do not machine wash.
Gold accents losing their shine
Gently polish the gold metallic areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Lace tassel becoming frayed
Trim any frayed threads carefully with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling or tugging on the tassel.
Sizing feels slightly off
If the fit is not ideal, consider the type of socks you are wearing. If still uncomfortable, consult the retailer's return policy for exchanges, especially as this is a limited-edition item.
