Care of products
Every Giuseppe Zanotti creation is designed and crafted in Italy, combining meticulous material research with an uncompromising attention to detail. Leathers and finishes are carefully selected and expertly crafted by skilled hands.
Creases, variations in tone and slight irregularities are natural characteristics of the materials and expressions of their uniqueness. Over time, each shoe naturally adapts to the wearer’s foot, while the leather may develop subtle marks and variations in tone that reflect its authenticity.
To preserve its beauty and distinctive qualities over time, we recommend keeping the product clean and dry, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. When not in use, store it in its dust bags. Particular care should also be taken to protect crystals, embroidery and delicate finishes.
For cleaning, maintenance or repair services, our Customer Care team is available to assist you. To request assistance, please provide proof of purchase or your order number, along with photographs of the product.
These guidelines are intended as general recommendations for the care of your product.
