All Luminellari shoes are handcrafted using carefully selected materials. Each pair is designed not only for aesthetic refinement, but also for long-term wear when properly cared for.
This guide outlines recommended care practices to help maintain the appearance, structure, and longevity of your shoes.
If you have any questions about product care or materials, our customer support team is always happy to assist.
To preserve the quality of your Luminellari shoes, please note the following: Avoid contact with water, rain, alcohol, oils, solvents, and chemicals
If shoes become wet, allow them to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight
Do not clean shoes with soap and water
Use leather or fabric care products only where appropriate, and always follow the product instructions
Spot-test any care product on an inconspicuous area before use
Retain your original proof of purchase for reference
These care recommendations are provided as general guidance. Luminellari is not responsible for damage resulting from improper use, care methods, or third-party products.
Store your Luminellari shoes in their original dust bags and shoe box, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
For styles featuring crystals or metal hardware:
Store each shoe carefully to prevent embellishments from catching, scratching, or pressing against the upper
Allow shoes to fully air out before storing
It is natural for shoes to soften or adapt to the wearer’s foot shape over time.
To help maintain structure:
Insert acid-free tissue paper or shoe trees when not in use
Avoid stacking or compressing shoes during storage
Luminellari leather soles are crafted from smooth, supple leather and may show signs of wear after initial use. This is normal wear, not a manufacturing defect. Avoid walking on wet or slippery surfaces. Moisture may affect sole integrity and cause staining on the uppers. We do not recommend resoling, as this may alter the original shoe construction
Smooth leather linings: wipe gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth
Suede linings: use a soft suede brush to refresh the nap
Avoid excessive moisture inside the shoe
Heel tips naturally wear down with regular use. To maintain stability and comfort:
Replace heel tips once wear becomes visible
Early replacement helps prevent structural imbalance or damage to the heel base
Heel tips can be replaced by a reputable professional cobbler
Crystal and metal embellishments are applied by hand and require careful handling.
