Hides And Furs
SUEDE AND NUBUCK
There may be a light dusting of material which represents a characteristic of the item in question. In the event the item accidentally gets wet, allow to dry at room temperature away from sources of heat and direct light in order to prevent damage.
BRUSHED AND PATENT
These types of leather are recognizable by their uniform look. They are made using a process that hides the grain of the leather, giving a shiny appearance to the material. Although it enhances the shoe and makes the leather more resistant, it may be subject to permanent creasing during normal use. The item may tend to fade with wear, especially in the places most exposed to scraping.
PONY, SHEEPSKIN AND HIDE
Items made partly or totally from hair-on leather, if subjected to rubbing, may suffer a loss or shortening of the hairy coat. Possible differences in color or direction are natural characteristics of the material. To prevent altering the naturalness of the leather, no fixatives are used on these items, making them particularly sensitive to color loss.
NAPPA AND FULL GRAIN
These items are characterized by a soft and silky feel, as well as a natural appearance. In fact, the pores of the skin are visible: the grain.
To obtain this appearance, a special process is used which enhances the natural look and, for this reason, requires particular care if it comes into contact with water. Treat any parts that come into contact with water and humidity by dabbing with a dry, soft cloth.
Wear will make the material slightly more opaque. To revive the appearance, use a neutral cream and rub with a dry cloth. This procedure may be per
Fabrics
RAFFIA
Natural raffia yarns can display different color nuances that lend uniqueness to the purchased item. Particular care should be taken duringʼuse, especially to protect against abrasions that might permanently change the items' original appearance. Over time the fibers might experience natural relaxation and breakage which can generate some material residue.
COTTON AND NATURAL FABRICS
Materials of natural origin may experience variations in color and appearance over time, mainly in the points most subject to bending and abrasion. Avoid contact with light colors to prevent slight color migrations.
Always store the product inside the protective cases provided, in a safe and dry place.
VELVET AND CHENILLE
These fabrics are characterized by their distinctive soft feel. Given the type of fabric, under normal use conditions aesthetic variations due to rubbing and surface abrasion may occur.
NYLON
Nylons are lightweight fabrics. The fabric is made with delicate fibers consisting of smooth continuous threads. During normal use of the product, this characteristic may become delicate and, over time, cause snagging and dulling to appear on the surfaces at bending or abrasion points.
MESH AND TULLE
Protect the product against excessively strong stress to prevent damage to the threads. Excessive wear of the item could cause the mesh fibers to break.
Cork, Wood and Paper
Materials of natural origin may experience variations in color and appearance over time, mainly in the points most subject to bending and abrasion.
Avoid contact with light colors to prevent slight color migrations.
Always store the product inside the protective cases provided, in a safe and dry place.
Trims
FLUORESCENT TRIM
Due to the particular nature of the pigments that make up fluorescent inks, materials made with this finish may experience a color variation; to prevent this from occurring, we recommend protecting the product and not exposing it to natural or artificial light for lengthy periods of time.
LAMINATES
Laminated materials are made by applying a metal film which gives the leather a laminated effect. Due to this characteristic, it is recommended that it be used appropriately to prevent any scratches caused by bumping or scraping that might damage the product.
FLOCKING
Flocking is a process that gives a velvety effect to the touch and sight. Produced by the bonding of very small fibers to the base material, the product should be protected by avoiding excessive rubbing which might visibly and irreparably damage the object. Over time, a gradual loss of the effect may become noticeable at the points subject to abrasion or scrapes.
COATINGS AND INSERTS
In order to prevent the coating from detaching, try to protect the plastic inserts that make up the shoe from excessive stress. Any abrasion of the material may cause it to become opaque.
Linings
The linings of Fendi products are made with materials specific to their intended use. These materials aim at improving the comfort and durability of wear by neutralizing the friction caused by the contact of the foot with the shoe. Lighter treatments are used on these materials which stop the loss of color without altering their original appearance; this may cause minor color transference or light abrasion at major contact points.
Special Products
Fendi FLOW
- ZIPPER:
The diagonal zipper of this product is made of tech material with the printed Fendi logo. The zipper may be opened and the slider moves easily to assist with comfort. The zipper has no effect on the fit: the elastic lacing makes it possible to wear the shoe even with the zipper closed.
- LACES:
This lacing is used to adjust the fit of the shoe.
If you want the shoe tighter on the foot, you can pull the laces to increase the size of the loop*. If, on the other hand, you desire a looser fit, you can untie the loops by pulling the strings outwards. The laces are self-locking and will adapt to the selected position.
ESPADRILLES
Espadrilles are handcrafted rope-soled footwear whose manufacturing process may endow them with minor irregularities. The rope is braided and pressed to give the sole greater consistency, the stitching around the rope holds all the coils together. Avoid contact with water and excessive stress, to prevent the rope from fraying. Over time, the jute fibers used to make the rope may experience some natural relaxation and loss of fibers.
