LEATHER

HOW TO CARE FOR MY LEATHER ITEMS?

  • Calfskin is a soft yet durable leather of animal origin.

  • Nappa or lambskin is moldable and supple leather of animal origin characterized by natural markings that make each piece unique.

  • Suede, resembling the smooth softness of velvet, is a material of animal origin obtained by removing the grained surface from the leather.

  • Textured leather has a firm and textured surface obtained through embossing and engraving to produce three-dimensional effects including croc and snakeskin finishes.

  • Patent leather is derived from Nappa or calfskin, coated with varnish to achieve either a glossy or matte finish.

  • Metallic leather is a laminated Nappa with a shiny finish and natural markings for a rock-inspired yet elevated look.

  • Responsible leather is leather from tanneries certified to high levels of environmental performance.

  • Exotic leather, including snakeskin and python, is a high-quality leather of animal origin characterized by the presence of animal scales and often embellished with hand-appliquéd decorations.

  • Pony calf hair leather is a tactile material that mimics the appearance of a horse's hide, crafted by shaving soft calf leather for a textured hand-feel.

 

We advise cleaning leather goods with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water or heat sources and place your accessory inside a dedicated cotton bag with filler paper to retain its shape. Avoid contact with materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

CANVAS

HOW TO CARE FOR MY CANVAS ITEMS?

Canvas is made of natural (e.g. cotton) or synthetic fibers. It is a very versatile and robust material with high resistance to strain and tearing and has a low environmental impact.

 

Canvas surfaces can also be coated to mimic the appearance of animal-derived leather or textured finishes, with a semi-glossy coating and subtle grain, ideal for prints.

 

We recommend manual cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid contact with water, creams, or heat sources and place your accessory inside a dedicated cotton bag with filler paper to retain its shape.

 

SATIN

HOW TO CARE FOR MY SATIN ITEMS?

Satin is woven from a blend of fibers including ECOVERO™ viscose, cotton, linen, silk and more to achieve a delicate and lustrous surface reminiscent of silk.

 

We advise manual cleaning with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, creams, or heat sources and place your accessory inside a dedicated cotton bag with filler paper to retain its shape. Avoid contact with materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

ROPE CROCHET

HOW TO CARE FOR MY ROPE CROCHET ITEMS?

Rope crochet is a hand-knotted technique that weaves intricate loops of yarn into a durable structure, often finished with a protective wax coating.

 

We recommend manual cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth using mild Marseille soap. Alternatively, wet wipes can be used. Keep your item away from direct heat sources to prevent damage. Additionally, avoid contact with materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

RAFFIA

HOW TO CARE FOR MY RAFFIA ITEMS?

Raffia is a remarkably durable and resilient material, often crafted from natural fibres harvested from the leaves of the raffia palm tree. However, it can also have a synthetic origin.

Raffia is a versatile material that can be woven using various techniques and is easily dyed, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

We recommend careful handling and manual cleaning with a dry cotton or microfibre cloth. Avoid contact with water and materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

SYNTHETICS

HOW TO CARE FOR MY SYNTHETIC ITEMS?

  • Nylon is a lightweight material made from synthetic fibers, with a technical appearance and characterized by high strength and durability. The surface can often be printed with seasonal prints.

  • ECONYL® is a certified recycled material in regenerated nylon.

  • Lycra is a synthetic and elastic material. It has a technical appearance and is frequently used for the inner padding of sneakers.

  • Laminated synthetic is a material made up of synthetic fibers and with a shiny mirrored appearance obtained by applying a metal foil to the surface.

 

We recommend manual cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid contact with water, creams, or heat sources and place your accessory inside a dedicated cotton bag with filler paper to retain its shape. Avoid contact with materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

EMBELLISHMENTS

HOW TO CARE FOR MY EMBELLISHED ITEMS?

  • Crystal and metal embellishments are applied by hand, adding preciousness and luminous accents to Versace accessories.

  • Crystal Mesh is a flexible metal mesh distinguished by embedded or bonded rhinestones, available in various densities and sizes.

 

We recommend careful handling and manual cleaning with a dry cotton or microfiber cloth. It is preferable to store the article in dedicated cotton bags. Avoid contact with materials that could damage and scratch the surface.

 

SOLES

HOW TO CARE FOR THE SOLES OF MY SNEAKERS?

We recommend manual cleaning with a soft, slightly damp white cloth using water or neutral soap. It is preferable to avoid the use of alcohol-based substances.
