FAQs

The Cassandre is the iconic interlocking YSL logo designed by Cassandre in 1961, which serves as a signature embellishment on many Saint Laurent pieces.

What occasions are these mules suitable for?

Is the kitten heel comfortable for extended wear?

These specific Babylone Mules are crafted from premium suede, giving them a soft texture and luxurious finish.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or matted

Gently use a suede brush in one direction to restore the nap. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser might be helpful, followed by brushing.

Light stain on the suede

Test a suede eraser on an inconspicuous area first. If using a suede cleaner, follow product instructions carefully and blot, do not rub.

Shoe shape seems to be losing integrity

Ensure proper storage using shoe trees or stuffing the shoes with acid-free paper when not in use. Avoid creasing or folding.

Heel feels unstable

Inspect the heel tip for wear. If damaged, seek professional repair from a cobbler to replace the heel tip.
