Troubleshooting
Espadrilles feel tight
As the cotton upper is soft, they may loosen slightly with wear. If initially tight, try wearing them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your feet.
Discoloration on cotton upper
This could be due to watermarks or dirt. Spot clean with a lightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist cleaner experienced with canvas footwear.
Jute sole shows wear
Jute is a natural material and will show signs of wear over time. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be used carefully. Avoid rough terrains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, the true-to-size fit makes them compatible with standard UK footwear sizing. They are best suited for casual and semi-casual occasions in warm weather.
Care Instructions:
- General Cleaning: Brush off loose dust regularly with a dry brush.
- Canvas Cleaning: Clean the cotton canvas upper with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid soaking the material.
- Drying: After cleaning, remove excess moisture and allow the espadrilles to air dry completely. Ensure they are dried away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and fading.
- Sole Care: The jute sole is hand-stitched. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or abrasive surfaces. The rubber element on the sole provides some protection and grip.
