Vegan Leather Care
At Scarlett Chase, we believe luxury, comfort, and sustainability go hand in hand. Our handcrafted in Italy vegan leather stretch boots and booties combine our SC360™ Support System with beautiful design, offering arch support, rebounding foam, and flexible fit. The vegan leather used in our shoes is supple, gorgeous, weather-resistant, but it still requires a little extra care to preserve its softness and long-lasting beauty.
What is Vegan Leather?
Vegan leather is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look and feel of traditional leather. At Scarlett Chase, we use a high-quality vegan leather that offers a luxurious, soft texture and is fully waterproof. Vegan leather can be sensitive to wear and tear, so it’s essential to provide it with regular care to ensure it retains its pristine condition for years to come.
Vegan Leather Care
1. Condition for Protection:
Vegan leather, although waterproof, can dry out and crack over time without proper care. Use a mild vegan leather conditioner or cream to add a protective layer. This will help maintain the material's suppleness and prevent it from losing its beautiful shine. Apply sparingly, let it absorb, and wipe off any excess.
2. Regular Cleaning:
After wearing, wipe your boots with a dry cloth to remove dirt, dust, and oils. On occassion, perform a deeper clean using a vegan leather-safe cleaner or a mild detergent solution. This helps keep your boots fresh and extends their lifespan.
3. Storage:
When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. This prevents the material from becoming too stiff or losing its flexibility.
4. Avoid Scratching:
Handle with care, especially around seams or hardware, as vegan leather can be more prone to marks and abrasions than traditional leather.
5. Waterproof but Not Invincible:
While our vegan leather is waterproof, it’s best to avoid prolonged exposure to rain or puddles. If they do get wet, simply let them air dry naturally and condition afterward to keep them soft.
Our vegan leather stretch boots and booties offer a stunning blend of luxury, comfort, and sustainability. By following these simple care tips, you’ll ensure your Scarlett Chase shoes remain as beautiful and comfortable as the day you first wore them.
