PRODUCT CARE

To ensure the longevity and preserve the beauty of your Sotelo pieces, we recommend the following care guidelines for leather and metal hardware:

Leather Care:

1. Regular cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and surface dirt.
2. Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner every two to three months to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out.
3. Water protection: Avoid direct contact with water. If the piece gets wet, dry it immediately with an absorbent cloth and let it air-dry, away from direct heat sources.
4. Proper storage: Store your bags and sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in the dust bags included with each purchase, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
5. Avoid chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, oils, or detergents that could damage the leather.

Metal Hardware Care:

1. Gentle cleaning: Wipe metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water and dry immediately.
2. Moisture protection: Keep hardware away from excessive moisture to prevent oxidation and deterioration.
3. Occasional polishing: Use a non-abrasive metal cleaner to polish the hardware occasionally, making sure it doesn't come into contact with the leather.

By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy your Sotelo pieces for much longer, preserving their beauty and function.
