McQueen does not offer refunds of items purchased from stores unless required by local regulation.


McQueen provides after sales services for any items purchased from www.alexandermcqueen.com or its directly operated stores. If you have a request, we invite you to visit your closest store or contact our client service team here.

Unless otherwise stipulated in the care card of the items, should any issue occur, a free of charge repair, an exchange or store credit (valid for one year from date of issue) at the discretion of McQueen will be offered based on the below criteria:

- Proof of purchase is provided;

- The issue must have occurred within 2 years of the date of purchase of such item;

- No signs of improper use; and

- A McQueen technician has conducted a technical examination and authorised a return.

Returns will not be issued and repair fees will be charged where:

Please comply with the care instructions set out in the booklets or cards provided along with or the care labels or tags attached to the item.

All leather and suede products are naturally dyed and not artificially treated. Contact with ink, water, oil, cleaning or bleaching substance, other chemicals, light coloured clothing or materials [in fugitive colour], or exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided for all items.

McQueen reserves the right of final interpretation of and to amend any and all of the above provisions without prior notice.


Our products are created by experienced artisans who select their materials with care and test them to make sure that they meet the highest standards of quality. The article has been manufactured purely according to handcraftsmanship principles. The footwear is made from white leather and, as such, it has been finished using special dyeing techniques, which render every article different from each other and, therefore, unique. Prolonged exposure to sunlight could cause variations in colour; any differences or irregularities should therefore not be considered defects but assets.

To preserve the natural qualities and characteristics of your items over time, it is therefore important to observe the following precautions during use:

  • We advise against cleaning the product with aggressive or caustic agents, as these could damage or spoil the leather

  • It is also advisable to store the article in its box, wrapped in the flannel.

We accept no responsibility for consequences arising from improper use, should the product be used in a manner which deviates from the instructions given.


This article is extremely delicate; special care should therefore be taken when wearing and handling the item, and during transportation.

Do not use cleaning products that contain alcohol, acetone or any other corrosive substances, as these may damage the glitter surface of the shoe that has no special protection and has not undergone any treatment using synthetic products. It is therefore far more delicate than other models. The use of glitters renders the article particularly delicate and low resistance to abrasions and scratches, and is therefore more susceptible to wear and damage, even due to slight rubbing, which cannot be corrected.

We recommend storing the footwear in its original packaging AMQ accepts no responsibility for consequences arising from improper use, should the product be used in a manner which deviates from the instructions given.


This material in particular is created by applying a genuine metallic foil onto the leather. The foil is initially attached to a sheet of paper and, through a process of hot pressing, is then transferred onto the leather. Purchasing a product manufactured with this leather means owning an item of pure luxury – one which is both prestigious and unique. We would like to stress that the leather has no special protection and has not undergone any treatment using synthetic products. It is therefore far more delicate than other leathers. The use of metallic film renders the article particularly delicate: the foil has a low resistance to abrasions and scratches, and therefore more susceptible to wear and damage, even due to slight rubbing, which cannot be corrected.

To preserve the natural qualities and characteristics of your items over time, it is therefore important to observe the following precautions during use:

  • We recommend cleaning the product regularly using a clean, dry cloth, as any small dust deposits, either on the item or on the cloth, could cause wear and scratches.

  • Do not use products that contain solvents or alcohol.

  • It is advisable to store the article in its special flannel, away from sources of light and heat.

  • It is also important to protect it from humidity, which may compromise the bonding of the foil to the leather.

McQueen accepts no responsibility for consequences arising from improper use, should the product be used in a manner which deviates from the instructions given.
