Our pieces are crafted with care, and we encourage you to treat them with the same intention to ensure their longevity. By providing detailed care instructions and educating customers on local repair options, we promote responsible and conscious consumption. Please follow these care recommendations to maintain the quality and comfort of your EDLA products.
Footwear care
EDLA shoes are handmade in Alicante, Spain, using natural materials and time-honoured techniques.
Storage
Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Use the cotton dust bags provided and fill shoes with tissue paper to preserve shape.
Before First Wear
Apply a suitable protective spray based on the material (leather, suede, etc.).
Moisture
If wet, gently blot with a soft cloth and air dry at room temperature, never apply heat.
Cleaning
Please find below our guide on how to clean your shoes.
Leather: Wipe with a soft cloth; use neutral polish if needed.
Suede: Brush gently in the direction of the grain.
Velvet: Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove dust. Avoid water; blot stains carefully with a clean, dry cloth.
Satin: Gently blot with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing and keep away from oils and alcohol-based products.
Patent: Avoid contact with ink, alcohol, and solvents.
Hosiery Care
Knitted in Castel Goffredo, Italy, EDLA hosiery is crafted using premium, fine-gauge yarns that are naturally delicate. These sensitively made pieces require gentle handling to preserve their shape, softness, and elasticity.
Washing by Hand (Recommended)
Hand wash in warm water using a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly without rubbing, pulling, or twisting the fabric to protect its delicate structure.
Machine Washing (If Necessary)
If machine washing, use a delicate cycle below 40°C (104°F) and avoid spinning. Place your tights in a lingerie bag or a pillowcase to prevent snagging from other garments (such as those with zippers, buttons, or Velcro).
Drying
Lay flat to dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose to direct heat or sunlight.
Storage
Fold gently and store in a drawer or in a cotton dustbag. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent snags or pulls.
