Care & Maintenance Tips 🖤
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your gothic lolita sandals:
- Gentle Cleaning – Wipe the corduroy exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn spots, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap
- Faux Fur Care – Brush the faux fur lining gently with a soft-bristled brush to maintain its plush texture and prevent matting
- Metal Protection – Occasionally polish metal studs and charms with a jewelry cloth to maintain their lustrous appearance and prevent tarnishing
- Storage – Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe bags to protect from dust and preserve the metallic sheen
- Moisture Control – Avoid excessive moisture exposure. If wet, air dry naturally away from heat sources
About This Style

These platform sandals are a celebration of that ethos—bold, unapologetic, and absolutely captivating. 🖤
