Quality - Developed after two years of research and development in collaboration with sustainable shoe design pioneer Sven Segal and Baabuk's network of suppliers. Produced in Portugal.
Care - We recommend hand washing with natural soaps. If using a washing machine, choose a gentle cycle at 30°C with only natural soap (no detergents or chemicals). Remove the insole before washing. Air dry.
Because there is no plastic in our laces, resizing them can be a bit challenging - therefore if you want to shorten the laces, be aware it will fray after being cut. You can also add a drop of transparent Nail polish or glue at the tip to stop the fray.
