1. First of all, it must be kept in mind that natural jute fibres can be easily damaged by water; therefore, it is important to avoid, as much as possible, contact of your espadrilles with water. It is not recommended to use them on rainy days and it is important to keep them in a dry place without humidity so that they remain in perfect condition.
Under no circumstances should the espadrille be put into the washing machine, or sub- merged in water or placed under the tap, since the jute in contact with the water swells and will be damaged, falling apart.
In case of rain, if the jute sole gets wet or acquires dampness, the best is to let it dry in the open air, without exposing it directly to the sun and always keeping the espadrille in a horizontal position.
2. To clean the jute soles, it is better to remove the dust using a soft bristle brush.
3. In case there are stains on the jute, they can be removed with an eraser.
4. Another option is to sprinkle talcum powder over the jute and let it work for a few minutes to absorb the stain. Then use a brush to remove the spot completely.
In the event the rubber on the sole separates from the jute, we recommend repairing it with silicone or glue.
