How to care for your luxe sandals
Beautiful sandals deserve a little TLC. Here’s how to keep them looking their best all summer long:
Store them with care: At home keep your sandals in their original box or in your suitcase with a soft (satin) dust bag to protect the materials.
Save fabric styles for evenings: Avoid wearing fabric sandals to the beach, sand and saltwater can damage delicate materials. Instead, wear them to dinner by the sea or while exploring a city highlight.
Clean them gently: Wipe rubber soles with a damp cloth. For leather, use a dedicated cleaner to keep the finish supple and fresh.
Let them breathe: After wearing, let your sandals dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colours or dry out the material.
