    PRODUCT CARE GUIDE

    LEATHERS & PATENTS

    As a natural material, even the most luxurious leathers can age with time and use and need to be cared for to maintain their optimum condition. Naturally tanned leathers such as Vacchetta may with use and exposure to light alter in colour. This is not a fault and is seen as the natural aging of this beautiful material. Due to the nature of Patent Leathers and the finish used, it is possible that dye can transfer onto the leather causing irreversible damage. Always store your product in its dust bag and avoid contact with darker colour materials.. Strong as leather may be, they still become marked with wear and will require occasional maintenance as with all leather products. Any loose dirt can be wiped away with a soft damp cloth and dried immediately away from direct heat.

     

    SUEDES & NUBUCKS

    Materials such as Suede go through an extensive finishing process, but due to the nature of this group of materials, may transfer colour onto lighter coloured items. Suede is a very absorbent material and therefore marks easily. We recommend using a good quality suede protector to keep products water-guarded and in good condition for longer. A good quality suede brush may be used to remove loose dirt. Care should be taken as excessive use can cause permanent damage.

     

    FABRICS & OTHER MATERIALS

    Due to the artisanal processes used at LUÍS ONOFRE, we have a number of unique fabrics & materials (such as cork, wood, acrylic, rubber) which require specific care. For coarse or rough finishes, please avoid contact with delicate fabrics or materials susceptible to damage A soft damp cloth can be used to remove any loose dirt. For fabrics, we also recommend using a suitable protector spray.

     

    METAL STUDS & CRYSTALS APPLIQUES Due to the artisanal processes, every piece made by LUÍS ONOFRE is unique in its embellishment pattern. Wear may cause scratching and loss of the original shine finish. For coarse or rough crystal finishes, please avoid contact with delicate fabrics or materials susceptible to damage.
