Care Guidelines

Preserving the elegance of your pieces over time—with precision and care.

At PIERRE HARDY, every creation is designed to last. Whether it's a smooth leather pump, a Cube canvas bag, or a metallic lambskin sandal, the right care ensures that each piece retains its brilliance and structure season after season. Discover our recommendations, organized by material, to take care of your shoes and accessories with elegance and intention.

General recommendations

  • Avoid abrasive products, hard brushes, alcohol, acetone, and solvents.
  • Clean your shoes thoroughly at least once per season.
  • Protect them from excessive moisture: leather is sensitive to water and heat. If exposed, let them dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Use shoe trees to help maintain shape, absorb moisture, and prevent creasing.
  • Care for them regularly—don't wait until they show signs of wear.
  • Handle your shoes with care to avoid impact and repeated friction.

Smooth & Grained Leather

Known for its finesse or robustness, smooth leather (full-grain) and grained leather are used in some of our most iconic designs—pumps, loafers, sandals, and boots. Their refined texture reveals the noble character of the material and calls for regular, mindful care.

Our care tips:

1. Gently clean using a soft brush or slightly damp cloth, without soaking the leather.
2. Nourish with a cream suited to the color of your shoe to maintain suppleness and radiance.
3. Polish in circular motions using a soft cloth or a horsehair brush.
4. Protect with a suitable waterproofing spray.
5. Store with wooden shoe trees (preferably cedar) to maintain the shape.
