Product Care Information

Suede

The key to keeping your suede looking clean is simple. Use a protective spray to cater for any liquid incidents. In case of stains and dirty marks across the suede, get familiar with our Labs Cleaning Kit 50. 

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled panels and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth.

Importantly keep them out of direct sunlight - bleached suede will need to be re-dyed, so don’t put yourself in that position.

Leather

Over time, a well-treated leather is always going to share a little wear and tear - but, there are ways to care for your leather that may prolong its lifespan. Use a protective spray to cater for any liquid incidents. In case of stains and dirty marks across the suede, get familiar with our Labs Cleaning Kit 50.

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled panels and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth, allowing to dry naturally before applying leather cream. To bring back your factory shine, use a tonal polish across the upper with extra attention paid when avoiding the white vamp, as any incorrectly matched polish may stain materials or stitching.

Printed

Our Printed Penny Loafers are pieces of wearable art, so, treat them as such. Use a protective spray to cater for any liquid incidents. In case of stains and dirty marks across the suede, get familiar with our Labs Cleaning Kit 50. 

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled panels and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth, allowing to dry naturally before applying leather cream. Tread carefully, we cannot guarantee that any treatment outside of our factory will not damage the print.

Never, and we repeat, never use strong products, chemicals or alcoholic solvents on our printed pairs - it doesn’t end well.

Sole and aftercare

Your rubber soles may be an afterthought, but it’s best to treat them in the same way as your leather and suede uppers. 

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled outsole and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth. Avoid leaving your soles dirty for prolonged periods of time, as the dirt will become more difficult to extract.

To maintain the shape of your D+D’s, we recommend investing in a set of wooden shoe trees and using a shoe horn to avoid heel creasing. Remember, we gave you a dust bag for a reason - wherever you’re heading, use it.
