Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my appointment?
We recommend that you bring a swatch of your fabric and images of your dress if at all possible, but not essential.
How do I clean my Emmy London shoes?
How you clean your shoes depends what they are made of...
Suede has a very fine nap so please take extra care when cleaning. Emmy recommends using a suede cleaning block called ‘Wolly’. You can buy one of these in most shoe repair shops. You can protect your shoes with a suede spray but please read the instructions fully before using. Do not spray your shoes if you would like to dye them.
Satin can be cleaned using a soft, slightly damp cloth, leave to dry naturally. Spray protection can be used, again do not spray your shoes if you want to dye them.
Leather can be cleaned with a damp cloth, Emmy recommends you use a neutral polish to avoid colour mismatches. Details on the shoes are handmade and very delicate, they are not designed to be worn daily. Beads and trims may be lost or damaged if caught or snagged. Replacement beads for trims can be requested from us.
