Extend the life of your favorite pairs with these simple care tips.

Why Shoe Care Matters

When you invest in handcrafted shoes like our Khussas, flats or heels, a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to maintain them like a pro.

💧 Daily Care Tips

• Air Them Out: After wearing, leave your shoes in open air for 30 mins.
• Use Soft Fabric: Wipe them gently with a soft dry cloth to remove dust or sweat.
• Avoid Moisture: Don’t leave them in damp places — especially embroidered pairs like Banafsha.

🧼 Deep Cleaning (Once a Month)

• Khussas: Use a makeup brush or old toothbrush to clean around thread work (e.g., Heritage Hue).
• Block Heels: Wipe leather-like surfaces (e.g., Dusk) with a damp cloth and dry instantly.
• Suede/Textile Pairs: Use a lint roller or suede brush.

🌦 Seasonal Care Tips

• Summer: Store shoes in cotton bags to prevent yellowing or dust.
• Monsoon: If shoes get wet, stuff them with tissue and let them dry in shade.
• Storage: Keep them in breathable cloth bags — not plastic.

Bonus Tip: Rotate Your Favorites

Don’t wear the same pair two days in a row. Let them breathe — your feet (and shoes) will thank you!
