Leather Care: Your NIIRA Kolhapuri Chappals are crafted from premium, natural leather that develops a beautiful patina over time. To maintain their quality:
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry naturally
- Apply leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the leather supple
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, or extreme heat
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to maintain shape
- Keep in a breathable cloth bag to prevent moisture buildup
Breaking In: Handcrafted leather softens and molds to your feet over time. Initial stiffness is normal and will ease with wear, creating a custom fit unique to you.
Natural Variations: As each pair is hand-painted and handcrafted by artisans, slight color variations and natural leather markings are part of the authentic character, not defects.
Repairs: Quality leather can be resoled and repaired. Contact us for artisan repair services to extend the life of your chappals.
