• Care instructions: We recommend a damp cloth and a neutral soap for hard stains

• More specific:

For the laminated cork (ankle and toe straps):

Lightly wipe down dust and dirt with a dry cloth. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the entire shoe in circular motion until clean. Regularly clean the cloth to avoid spreading the removed dirty into the shoe. For particularly difficult stains use a soft-bristle brush with water in circular motions. Laminated cork is very sensitive ‒ be gentle. Let the shoes air dry before applying polish cream. The application of polishing cream is recommended. Apply a small amount using a dry, soft cloth and rub sparingly over the textile in a circular motion. After the application, leave to dry naturally for 24 hours.

For piñatex (heel, counter-back, round insole):

Clean using a soaked cloth with soapy water. Never fully submerge the product as this may cause irreversible damage. Let your item air dry before any application. The application of a colourless wax is recommended. Apply a small amount using a dry, soft cloth and rub sparingly over the textile in a circular motion until fully absorbed. Leave to dry naturally for 24 hours after application.

– Pineapple in your Shoes

We use a natural textile from waste plant fibres. Piñatex fibres are the product of pineapple harvest, is made from agricultural waste and is originated in the Philippines. It is produced by local farms and this really helps to create a new industry for pineapple growing countries. No extra land, water, fertilizers or pesticides are required to produce them.

Piñatex is one of our natural fabrics. It is made from pineapple leaf fibres. The leaves – which are normally discarded – are taken from pineapple harvests and processed to make this incredibly durable fabric, with any unused fibres then redistributed to the fields as fertiliser.

It’s a completely earth-friendly process and the company responsible are working with pineapple farmers to add a whole new income stream to their businesses.

For Piñatex products we recommend a polishing cream. Eco Cream that protect, nourish and gives a natural shine to your nae vegan shoes. Made with no animal ingredients and available in brown, black and neutral. It must have the same color of the product and must be specific for the product as well. It will help to keep the original color and look.

Method of use: Removing remains of dust and dirt from the shoes. Apply eco-cream with the sponge in circles. After apply, clean the sponge with water. Give shine with a brush or cloth.

It is Cork time!

We have a cork line since 2009 because we know how great this natural textile can be and how beautiful fits in shoes.

We only work with cork produced in protected reserves and we love this material because it is waterproof, smooth elegant, soft and it is never out of fashion.

Cork is incredibly durable and great for the environment. It is harvested from cork oak (or quercus suber) trees and is 100% sustainable. Cork farming actually has a negative carbon footprint, meaning that using it in our products has an incredibly positive impact on the planet. It’s waterproof, hypoallergenic and soft to the touch, making it virtually perfect.
