Caring For Your Footwear
McQueen footwear is crafted by skilled artisans using carefully selected materials.
- Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
- Do not use aggressive, caustic, or unsuitable cleaning products (e.g. solvents, alcohol, oils).
- Avoid contact with rough or abrasive surfaces.
- Do not use brushes or damp cloths that could scratch or stain.
- Store in the original box when not in use to preserve shape and condition.
Includes footwear with embroidery, rhinestones, or decorative techniques that are extremely precious and delicate, and must be protected against damage when worn. Any small variations or unevenness in the design are characteristics of the craftsmanship of the sewing and should be considered an asset.
Care Instructions
- Handle with care to avoid damaging delicate decorations.
- Avoid rubbing against surfaces or clothing, which may cause threads to break or embellishments to detach.
For general handling and storage, please refer to the General Care Guidelines above.
These leathers may display natural irregularities in scale design, colour variations, or subtle imperfections — all signs of authenticity and minimal finishing. These precious materials are finished with minimal use of substances that may alter the final look of the item. These characteristics, as well as the susceptibility to abrasion, the delicate nature of the color stability and the characteristic fading which occurs in the areas of greatest wear of the product, are further testament to the natural qualities, value and authenticity of precious leather.
Care Instructions
- If wet, dab gently with a pale, soft cloth, following the grain of the scales.
- Avoid exposure to water, oils, perfumes, make-up, and pale-coloured garments.
- Do not apply generic shoe polish or conditioners.
- Store with tissue paper in the flannel bag or box, avoiding plastic or nylon.
- Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
For general handling and storage, please refer to the General Care Guidelines above.
Characterised by natural transparency, visible veins, and a tendency to evolve over time with wear. This is an organic product, made from natural extracts: this means it is delicate and subject to wear and tear. Like all vegetable-tanned products, it may have limited resistance to dry or wet rubbing and, over time, may present variations in colour.
Care Instructions
- Low resistance to rubbing (wet or dry) — avoid friction.
- Do not clean with creams, brushes, or harsh agents.
- If wet, blot gently with a pale, absorbent, lint-free cloth.
- Do not use aggressive, caustic, or unsuitable cleaning products (e.g. solvents, alcohol, oils).
- Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
- Store in the box when not in use.
These products includes painted, sandblasted and coated leathers, created using polyurethane-based finishes. To avoid the risk of color transfer, which is an innate characteristic of painted or coated materials, we advise against letting the product come into contact with pale-colored items or with other dark-colored materials.
Care Instructions
- Risk of colour transfer is inherent to these finishes; avoid contact with dark garments.
- Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
For general handling and storage, please refer to the General Care Guidelines above.
These materials offer a soft, velvety texture and vibrant colour, achieved through specific napping and dyeing methods. Due to their natural characteristics, slight colour transfer and residual dust may occur and cannot be completely avoided.
Care Instructions
- Naturally prone to releasing dust and colour — avoid pale clothing.
- Sensitive to dry and wet rubbing.
- Do not use water, brushes, or cloths that may mark the surface.
- Store away from light and moisture.
- Do not use aggressive, caustic, or unsuitable cleaning products (e.g. solvents, alcohol, oils).
- Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
For general handling and storage, please refer to the General Care Guidelines above.
High-quality fabrics crafted with traditional techniques and special finishes have a unique appearance. Natural, dyed, and printed textiles are delicate by nature and have low resistance to rubbing, wet or dry.
Care Instructions
Avoid contact with sharp surfaces and repeated friction.
Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
Store carefully in the box when not in use.
If the item becomes dirty, consult a specialist or contact the store where it was purchased.

Includes items with foil, glitter, sequins, cracklè, beads, tassels, and prints or other kinds of transfers applied to the materials or components. The aforementioned finishes have a natural tendency to age over time, with the design or decorative motif applied to the surface of the product becoming more opaque and less defined. This means that loss of the finish, transfer or print may occur during use, in the corners and in other areas of the item which are subject to greater wear.
Care Instructions
Avoid repeated rubbing or impact to preserve surface design.
Handle gently and store properly to avoid premature deterioration.
Do not use aggressive, caustic, or unsuitable cleaning products (e.g. solvents, alcohol, oils).
Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, sunlight, humidity or extreme temperature changes.
For general handling and storage, please refer to the General Care Guidelines above.
