How do I clean my vellies?

Caring for your vellies could extend the need to be replaced and delay the need to be revived.

See our cleaning instructions below:

  1. 1. Remove any dust with a damp cloth.
  2. 2. Mix 1 part mild soap – such as a facial soap, dishwashing liquid or very mild clothes detergent – with 8 parts lukewarm water.
  3. 3. Pour a bit of the solution onto a sturdy cloth or sponge, preferably a microfibre cloth. Never put the mix directly onto the leather as this could cause over- saturation.
  4. 4. Gently wipe the stain.
  5. 5. Once the stain has dissolved, leave the shoes to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight.
  6. 6. After drying, we recommend to spray the leather with leather sealant to prevent further stains. This product is oil and water repellant.
  7. 7. Use the Sapmok leather cream to soften leather when it is old, hard and stiff. Keep in mind that any leather cream will darken the colour of the leather.
