FRANCK BLACK RAFFIA

Jacques Solovière styles generally run slightly large, as they are designed on Italian lasts. We recommend referring to our size guide for measurements or contacting us at info@soloparis.com for personalized advice.

This type of leather is not water-resistant, is prone to stain & water damage, and risks the possibility of discoloration. When exposed to rain, dry with a cloth as soon as possible. If severely soaked, put newsprint paper into the shoes to absorb water and prevent it from warping. Store in a cool dry place. High-temperature drying methods (i.e., a hair dryer) should never be used, which may cause the leather to harden, crack, or warp. Light stains can be cleaned with a dry cloth. We recommend you to use a cream.

PROPERTIES

Calf leather is known for its fine grain, supple feel, and refined appearance. It offers an ideal balance of softness, strength, and flexibility. Polished calf adds a subtle shine that enhances its natural elegance while maintaining durability. Over time, it develops a unique patina, a testament to how it's worn and cared for.

CARE

After each wear, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light marks.
For light scuffs, rub gently with clean, dry hands, the warmth and natural oils of the skin can help reduce surface marks.

To nourish and protect the leather, apply a neutral or matching color cream polish using a soft cloth. Let it absorb, then buff lightly with a clean brush or cloth to restore the shine. Avoid liquid polishes or waxes, which may clog the pores of the leather.

For long-term care, use cedar shoe trees between wears to help absorb moisture and preserve the original shape of the shoe.

Before storing, lightly spray with a water-repellent leather protector and place in the dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Repeat these care steps regularly to maintain the leather’s natural beauty and softness.
