Care Instructions
To ensure your Vellies last a lifetime, follow these maintenance tips:
Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner; avoid harsh detergents that can strip natural oils.
Condition: Every few months, apply a leather cream or balsam to keep the hide supple and prevent cracking. Avoid applying heavy oils directly to the leopard print fabric.
Dry If they get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
