CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF LEATHER SHOES AND BAGS

Whether they are made of suede or leather, Canali shoes and bags have been crafted according to the Italian artisan tradition. It is important for us to know that whoever owns them has all the information they need to take care of them and preserve them over time. A few instructions are all you need to do this in the best possible way. Let's find out how.

Brushing

Canali products are already treated with waterproofing and specific products during manufacture, therefore, if you have any queries about using a product, we advise you to consult a shoemaker. Leather and suede shoes and bags are very delicate and should not be washed with a lot of water, either by hand or in the washing machine. However, cleaning them is possible… let's find out how!

First, you can clean them by brushing.

  • For shoes, we recommend having several brushes: one for surface cleaning (made of natural rubber or brass with delicate bristles), one for deeper cleaning or stain removal (made of semi-rigid horsehair), and one for applying polish and for the final stage of polishing.
  • If you have lace-up shoes, remove the laces and brush them to remove dust.
    Then, waterproof them with a special spray and move on to the actual cleaning appropriate for the type of shoe.
  • For bags, it is also possible to use a slightly damp clean cloth and leave them to dry for a few minutes.​
