LEATHERS
Stuart Weitzman shoes are meticulously crafted from the finest leathers and reflect our commitment to craftsmanship, quality and luxury. Our team of experts works closely with the best LWG-certified tanneries in Spain, Italy and Turkey to source each material.
Due to the nature of leather, there may be slight variations on each shoe, and natural markings and creasing may occur over time. We recommend keeping your leather shoes out of extreme weather conditions and away from humidity and heat. Clean gently as needed using a soft cloth, and for more extensive cleaning, please engage a professional leather cleaner.
