Care Instructions:

To ensure your “Desert Bloom” sandals remain beautiful for years to come, please follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather sole and strap (where not beaded) with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for genuine leather. Allow to air dry completely.
• Cleaning Beadwork: Gently dust the beaded areas with a soft, dry brush (like a clean, soft toothbrush or makeup brush). If necessary, lightly dampen a cotton swab with plain water and gently roll it over the beads to clean, being careful not to soak them. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the beads or the thread.
• Conditioning Leather: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to the leather parts of the sandal to keep them supple and prevent cracking. Avoid getting conditioner on the beads.
• Water Exposure: These sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, at the beach, or near pools. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat, which can crack the leather and damage the beads.
• Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It’s best to keep them in a shoe bag or box to protect the beadwork from dust and potential snags.
• Avoiding Damage: Be mindful when wearing them to avoid snagging the beadwork on rough surfaces or sharp objects.
• Professional Repair: If beads come loose or the leather is damaged, it is best to take them to a professional cobbler or a local artisan specializing in beadwork for repair.
