Store your shoes in cotton bags and fill the shoe with tissue paper to help maintain their shape. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, oil, cosmetics and abrasive products. If your shoes get wet, dry them with a soft cloth without rubbing and let them dry completely at room temperature.
To clean the leather remove dirt with a damp cloth or sponge and protect it by regularly applying a light, natural wax and buffing with a soft cloth.

The indigenous communities of the Andes and the Amazon use the paiche mainly as food and Cornelio Borda use the remainders – the skin – as a type of ecological leather. We work closely with a local fish tanning company to ensure the quality and dyeing process of the skin. The different textures and colors are obtained by Peruvian natural dyes such as turmeric (yellow), indigo and huitu (blue) and beet (rose). This kind of process and natural components will always give our products unique and un repeatable characteristics. The sandals are delicately hand embroidered in the borders with pima cotton. We have them as flats and with heels.
