Take care of your Cubanas

There are precautions we can take with our bags, shoes, and fashion items in general, ensuring that they remain reasonably clean, look good, and have a long useful life.

VENTILATE

Let them air out for a period before storing them; this is a good practice.

STORE

Preferably, they should be stored in the original packaging or in shoe racks.

SURFACE CLEANING

Use brushes. This helps prevent the buildup of dirt and even bacteria.

ODOR

To eliminate unpleasant odors, you can use a shoe deodorant inside the shoes.

MATERIAL

Each type of material—leather, suede, fabric, synthetic material, and plastic—requires specific care, but as a general rule, they should not be washed.

Never put them in washing or drying machines, and do not use electric dryers.
