CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the laces from your moccasins or boots. Let dry thoroughly. Use a soft brush to remove any dust and dirt.
2. To remove stains, gently rub them in a circular motion with a slightly humid cloth with a drop of soft soap (dishwashing liquid). Rinse with a clean cloth. Let your footwear air dry totally before applying anything onto the leather (overnight if possible).
3. You can use a good quality shoe polish and conditioner, or mink oil product. It is very important to keep leathers hydrated. Use a soft cloth and help the product penetrate by making small circulate movements. Normally a good shine protects your leathers for a week.
4. Waterproofing: we advise against waterproofing products because they may contain chemicals that damage leather and prevents it from breathing.
5. In winter, remove any mud, snow and dirt from your footwear as soon as possible and keep them away from any heat source. Salt may leave a white residue on your shoes. Clean the white spots with a damp cloth before salt gets embedded. Let them air dry before treating them again with shoe polish before you wear them again.

Contrary to smooth leather, suede is made from the inside of the hide, lightly sanded

1. Remove the laces from your moccasins or boots. Use a soft brush to eliminate any dust and dirt
2. To remove stains, gently wipe them in a circular motion with a slightly humid cloth with a drop of soft soap (hand dishwashing liquid). Rinse with a clean damp cloth. If needed, use a crepe brush for suede, suede eraser block or a plain eraser. Let your footwear air dry thoroughly before re-applying any type of protector
3. Certain greasier stains can be removed by sprinkling talc, baking soda or powdered chalk that will absorb grease. Let sit for a few hours then brush with a suede brush.
4. We recommend a good quality suede conditioner, but we advise against waterproofing products because they may contain chemicals that damage suede and prevents it from breathing.
5. In winter, remove any mud, snow and dirt from your footwear as soon as possible and keep them away from any heat source. Let them air dry before treating them again with conditioner before you wear them again.

The inside of a sheepskin hide is also a type of suede

If your slippers or boots are made from reversed sheepskin, you must treat them with as much care as you would for all your other leathers. Please refer to the section «Clean and condition suede»

The fur we use is natural

It is not treated with any chemical component. Be mindful not to use any artificial product on it, be it in spray or any other form, because it may be the best way to destroy fur’s integrity.

Never rub it.

Never put too much water to clean it.

1. In order to eliminate any trace of dust and dirt, simply shake it or tap it against your hand.
2. To remove stains, delicately wipe it with a soft clean cloth or sponge moistened with a little bit of water and a drop of gentle shampoo. Rinse the cloth or sponge with cold water and remove the excess soap. Let dry thoroughly then shake or use a hair dryer on "cold״or ״warm״ setting, never hot
3. If the fur is wet, shake the excess water or let it dry naturally, away from any heat source. Then shake to fluff it up
4. It is typical that fur loses a few hairs with time. We strongly recommend avoiding the rubbing of your pants on the fur or rubbing your feet against each other in order to prolong its life span.

- Pour enlever la poussière et la saleté de l’intérieur de vos mocassins, passez l’aspirateur dedans en utilisant l’embout plat pour fauteuils et divans de votre aspirateur.

- Si nécessaire nettoyez avec un chiffon humide. Si l’eau seule n’est pas efficace, ajoutez une goutte de savon doux (liquide à vaisselle) et frottez délicatement de façon circulaire. Rincez le chiffon et absorbez le plus possible de savon, puis laissez sécher complètement à l’air.

- Pour les taches d’huile ou de graisse, saupoudrer généreusement les endroits salis avec du bicarbonate de soude (soda à pâte). Laissez la poudre agir plusieurs heures puis bien secouer l’excédent.

La cause principale des mauvaises odeurs dans les chaussures, c’est la transpiration des pieds

L’humidité et la chaleur provoquent la multiplication des bactéries responsables des mauvaises odeurs. Il est très important de bien laisser sécher vos mocassins et bottes entre deux utilisations

- Le bicarbonate de soude (soda à pâte) possède la propriété d’absorber les odeurs en milieu humide. Saupoudrez l’intérieur de vos chaussures avec ce produit et laissez agir toute la nuit.

- Autre suggestion, mettez à l’intérieur de vos chaussures des peaux d’orange ou de citron et laisser agir toute la nuit : c’est un procédé naturel renommé pour bien éliminer les odeurs.

-Les rayons UV du soleil ont mauvaise réputation, cependant leur qualité propre est non seulement d’assécher, mais de détruire les bactéries et de stériliser naturellement vos chaussures. Exposez vos mocassins en plein soleil le plus souvent possible.

- Si vos mocassins ou bottes sont doublées et que les méthodes ci-dessus ne solutionnent pas vos problèmes de mauvaise odeur, imbibez un chiffon propre de vinaigre blanc, et tamponnez soigneusement toute la doublure intérieure de vos mocassins. Les propriétés fongicides et antibactériennes du vinaigre blanc sont reconnues. Laissez sécher complètement.
