Maintaining leather shoes & bags
Subjects
Fred de la Bretoniere collections mostly consist of unfinished leather products. Leather is a tanned animal skin. Just like our own skin, leather is preserved best when it's well cared for. Impregnation, care and cleaning are three key factors in the maintenance of our leather products. They ensure that the products stay looking beautiful and well cared for in the long term. You’ve got to take care of the important things in life; this also applies to Fred de la Bretoniere products!

TIPS
Some general tips from our knowledgeable store employees can be found below. These tips can be used regardless of the leather type of the shoes or bags.
- Never accessorise dark or black jeans with a light suede bag. The dye from the jeans can stain the suede.
- In snowy or very rainy weather, we advise you to treat your shoes more regularly.
- We advise you to always loosen your laces when taking off your shoes, so you can keep your shoes in perfect condition.
- Always use a shoehorn when putting on shoes or boots. This tool makes it easier to get into your shoes/boots and protects the lining and heel reinforcement (contrefort).
- Did you buy summer espadrilles? You can inject the rope sole with Wax Leather Spray to prevent the sole from ‘spreading’.
