They are fully lined in recycled polyester and meticulously handcrafted in Spain, embodying Stella McCartney's commitment to ethical fashion.

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using colored cleaning products or excessive water, as this may affect the material. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
