FAQs
How do I determine my size?
These loafers are listed in UK sizing. We recommend referring to Saint Laurent's official size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary slightly between brands (Info needed: [Provide link to size guide if available]).
What kind of leather are these made from?
These loafers are crafted from high-quality, supple leather, chosen for its comfort, durability, and luxurious appearance.
Can I wear these loafers in the rain?
While leather can withstand some moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions provided to prevent damage and maintain their condition.
How do I clean the gold-tone Cassandre logo?
Gently wipe the logo with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.

Where are these loafers manufactured?

Troubleshooting
Loafers feel stiff or tight initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the supple leather to naturally break in and mold to your feet. Dedicated shoe stretchers can also be used if needed (Info needed: [Consult a shoe care specialist if persistent]).
Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather
For light scuffs, a soft cloth and a dab of leather conditioner can often buff them out. For deeper marks, apply a high-quality black leather polish matching the shoe's finish, then buff to a shine. Professional leather repair may be necessary for significant damage.
Leather appears dull or dry
The leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth, allowing it to soak in before buffing gently to restore luster and suppleness.
Loafers get wet or stained
If wet, blot gently with a dry cloth and stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers. For stains, clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner (test first), then condition.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your leather loafers.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
- Conditioning: Every few months, or as needed, apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to keep the leather supple and prevents drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Polishing: Use a black shoe polish suitable for leather to maintain their shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply in a circular motion and buff with a clean cloth or brush.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your loafers in their original dust bags to protect them from dust and scratches. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep your loafers away from excessive moisture. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Professional Care: For deep cleaning or significant damage, consult a professional shoe care specialist.
