You bought a cute new pair of Josefinas? Yay!!! Before you start to live great adventures with them we have some recommendations for you.
As a first step and preventive measure, we recommend you choose waterproofing. This will help protect the Josefinas from water puddles or even coffee stains that may accidentally befall them. See how you can waterproof your Josefinas here. If by any chance your Josefinas get wet, let them dry naturally, far away from heat sources. This will prevent other materials getting damaged.
To keep your soft leather Josefinas looking brand new, we recommend dry cleaning on most cases. However, some materials may need an extra special care to stay flawless.

To clean leather you should only wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove excess dirt. If you have any more noticeable stains, you may wipe with a soft cloth moistened in water and soap (never wet) to clean your Josefinas a little more deeply.

If your Josefinas are suede, all you need is to scrub with an appropriate smooth brush to keep them looking new - most blemishes may be removed by this simple procedure.
There are specific spray products for treating suede in case you have to remove more noticeable stains. In that case, you should follow the product’s instructions rigorously.

To keep Josefinas Luanda, Benguela and Cheshire Cat in pristine condition, forget any type of leather treatment product and avoid contact with liquids as much as possible.

As for patent leather Josefinas, you may keep their natural shine by regularly wiping with a soft cloth and keeping them in a dry, dust-free place.

To keep silk good as new, as in the case of Josefinas Sisterhood Blue, you must avoid contact with rugged or rough objects so it doesn’t tear. It’s also important to keep this pair protected from liquids or rain, and carefully stored to keep the bow’s elegant shape. The same type of care should be considered to keep gingham fabric and lace in good condition. In these cases, you should forget leather treatment products and opt for a specialized cleaning service if necessary.

Some Josefinas contain more delicate elements such as pearls, crystals, metal and zircon. To keep these in pristine conditions, you must take care to store these pairs separately and avoid contact with rugged objects and liquids.

To treat stronger stains, we recommend you contact us to tell you the best procedure according to the Josefinas model you have.

Josefinas should never go into the washing machine. You can remove dirt using a soft and dry cloth. There are some cleaning products that you can use depending on the type of leather. If you wish to use these products, follow the instructions carefully and be sure to cover up any type of adornment since they may be damaged by these products.

Your Josefinas were produced with high quality genuine leather. Variations in texture, color and thickness are the leather’s natural nuances. These characteristics enhance the beauty of your Josefinas and are what make them a unique piece.
