LEATHER
Leather is a durable, living material. Each piece is unique, with natural variations in grain, tone, and texture that highlight its authenticity and the craftsmanship behind it. These subtle differences make every item one of a kind.
HARDWARE
The hardware has been plated in 18k gold, so treat the metal with care. To preserve its finish, wipe down if it gets wet, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and handle clasps, zippers, and buckles gently.

Theses shoes are so chic. I ordered my usual size and found they run a little snug. I contacted customer service about replacing the inner sole to a thinner one and the staff were very obliging. Am still waiting for them but I’m sure they will be perfect.
