At Pretty Ballerinas, we believe that exceptional footwear deserves exceptional care. Follow these guidelines to preserve the elegance, texture, and longevity of your shoes.
Patent Leather
Maintain the radiant finish of patent leather by storing each pair separately to prevent contact marks. For gentle upkeep, lightly mist with a silicone-based spray and polish softly with a dry chamois cloth, keeping the sheen flawless.
Nappa Leather
Smooth Nappa leather retains its luxurious softness when treated with a cream tailored to its tone—or a neutral shade—applied sparingly with a dry chamois. This preserves its natural suppleness and subtle luster.
Suede and Split Leather
Prior to wearing, protect suede and split leather with a fine waterproof spray. For light stains, delicately lift the surface using ultra-fine sandpaper, then restore the nap with a soft natural-bristle brush, enhancing its refined texture.
Velvet and Fur
Bring velvet and fur shoes back to their original plush elegance by gently steaming the surface. Follow with careful brushing in the direction of the fibers using a natural-bristle brush to maintain the richness and softness of the material.
Silk
Silk shoes are a testament to sophistication and require delicate handling. Lightly cleanse with a chamois moistened in mild soap and water, then allow to air dry at room temperature, preserving their refined appearance.
Water-Repellent Stretch Fabric
For water-repellent stretch fabrics, clean gently with a damp chamois and mild soap. Let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature, ensuring their form and performance remain uncompromised.
