Product Care

How can you maintain the finest quality of your leather item?

Donsje baby shoes and children's shoes are handcrafted from premium leather. The leather is durable and meticulously selected.
To ensure your product maintains its finest quality, we recommend the following:

Baby shoes:
- We recommend to avoid contact with water, direct lighting and heating sources. If the babyshoes do get wet, let them dry and tap them gently with a soft, neutral-colored cloth. Avoid over-exposure to direct lighting and keep them away from direct sources of heat such as radiators.

- To remove small amounts of dirt or spots from your leather baby shoes, you can use a dry nubuck/suede sponge or napping brush to gently remove the dirt. If necessary, you can use a soft damp cloth (not too wet) and gently clean the shoes by tapping them with the cloth to remove any persistent stains. Once finished cleaning, allow the shoes the time to dry, but do not place them in the sun or near a heater.
The shoes cannot be washed in a washing machine.

- We advise not to use any leather sprays for baby shoes to avoid that young children are exposed to hazardous chemicals.

Children's shoes:
- In order to protect your shoes against dirt and water, you can spray them with a special leather spray such as Collonil.
For shoes made of suede or nubuck we recommend a waterproofing spray such as Collonil.

- We recommend to limit contact with water, direct lighting and heating sources. If the shoes do get wet, let them dry and tap them gently with a soft, neutral-colored cloth. Avoid over-exposure to direct lighting and keep them away from direct sources of heat such as radiators.

- To clean the shoes, remove dry dirt and dust as much as possible, and subsequently take a soft damp cloth (not too wet) to gently clean the shoes by rubbing them down with the cloth. Once finished cleaning make sure to allow the shoes the time to dry, but do not place them in the sun or near a heater. Nubuck or suede shoes can be brushed delicately after drying. The shoes cannot be washed in a washing machine.

How can you maintain the finest quality of your Donsje clothing?

Donsje clothing is handcrafted from refined and soft materials. These materials are carefully selected based on their natural and sustainable attributes. To maintain the finest quality of your product, we recommend following the instructions on the label in the clothing.
In general, we advise washing our clothing at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius and letting it air dry (avoid using a dryer).
Do not use bleach during the washing process. The clothing can be ironed at a minimal heat.

How can you maintain the finest quality of your leather accessories?

Donsje accessories are handcrafted from premium leather. The leather is durable and meticulously selected.
To ensure your product maintains its finest quality, we recommend the following:
- We recommend to avoid contact with water, direct lighting and heating sources. If the accessory does get wet, let it dry and tap it gently with a soft, neutral-colored cloth. Avoid over-exposure to direct lighting and keep it away from direct sources of heat such as radiators.
