HOW TO LOVE YOUR VELLIES

Vellies will comfortably shape to the contours of your foot as you break them in.  Vestibull has some premium leather care products available on our online shop.

Some leather shoes need special care from time to time. Clients can wear most vellies styles ‘as is’ and they will age well into a vintage worn-in look.  We highly recommended to use a leather Spray protector to prolong wear.  Prevention of damage due to dirt, oil and water is better than cleaning especially on our light colour vellies like Dusty pink and Stone.  Clients can order the Plush spray protector here. 

Spray can be used every few months as a top up or after cleaning. 

Cleaning artwork leather:

If vellies have artwork on suede leather, take care not to soil suede with polish, only use spray protector on this area.  We recommend to avoid or minimise scrubbing and cleaning artworks.  If they do get dirty test a small area before doing whole shoe.  Use a soft bristle brush.  

Alternatively clients can also email us for advice:  hello@vestibul.co.za
