💚CARE:

Alfena™ shoes are luxuriously curated out of 100% biodegradable, high-quality, vegetable tanned leather.

Part of our sustainable promise is that our leather is sealed with premium natural fats and waxes, and is completely absent of a chemical coating which usually contains polluting color pigments and microplastics!

To preserve the exceptional quality of your new shoes, we encourage you to show your shoes some love!
Before wearing your shoes for the first time, we recommend applying a neutral waterproofing spray or wax. This step helps protect your shoes from moisture and external elements. Additionally, taking a moment to polish your shoes will not only enhance their appearance and longevity but also demonstrates affection and care towards your new piece, aligning with your values as a conscious consumer.
