How do I take care of my clothing pieces?
Our garments have been exclusively created with quality materials and innovative techniques. To ensure its longevity, we advise storing your pieces in a cotton garment cover (never in plastic) and in a dry and cool space. In case of rain or snow, hang it up to dry and clean it delicately with a soft cloth to remove any stains.
For denim, the fabric used has been traditionally or indigo dyed in order to give it its vintage aspect, which may lose colour and will evolve with time.
Dry cleaning is recommended on most products. Furs and leathers should be entrusted to specialists. Please refer to the care label in your garment for specific cleaning recommendations.

Textiles
With the finest materials, intricate weaves and print varieties, Arya Mehr textiles are crafted in accordance to our highest quality standards. These luxurious and delicate textiles require special handling and attention to ensure these attributes over time. Textiles are susceptible to the appearance of pulls caused by sharp objects such as fingernails, jewellery, zippers, etc., and should be avoided. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from dust and humidity.
Dry cleaning is recommended for cleaning. Any home remedies or machine washing can severely damage the textile.
Sunglasses
Arya Mehr sunglasses are created with specially trained artisans in our ateliers with exclusive know-how. Crafted with cutting edge materials and fresh designs, your Arya Mehr sunglasses can be easily maintained.
While wearing your sunglasses, it is best not to place upon your head to rest, as this may cause a widening of the arms and an augmented fit. Please keep in mind, as you wear your sunglasses, the frame will naturally form to your unique face shape. We recommend that you avoid contact with chemicals and liquids such as seawater to preserve the quality.
For storage, place inside the pouch and protective case provided at purchase in a cool, dry place. Storage in hot environments (cars, heaters, etc.) for prolonged periods can cause the frame to deform and is not recommended.
To clean your sunglasses, place under lukewarm water and gently dry and polish your lenses with the pouch provided at purchase. Lightly soapy water using mild dish detergent may also be used to remove residue from the lenses and frame.
How can I take care of shoes?
Shoe Product Care
Crafted from beautifully selected leathers, Arya Mehr shoes are the perfect blend of sophistication and savoir-faire, passed down through generations of dedicated craftsmen in Italy. When not in use, store in the felts provided at purchase in a dry place away from any direct heat source. To preserve the shape of men’s city shoes, we suggest storing with a shoe tree after each use. Contact with water or products containing solvents, oily or abrasive elements should be avoided as they may cause unwanted staining or blisters. When putting on your shoes, a shoehorn is suggested to avoid damaging the material in the back of the heel.
By taking care of your Arya Mehr shoes in this way, you will be able to wear them for many years and fully appreciate their beauty and comfort. Do not hesitate to ask for advice in your nearest Arya Mehr store, where our specialised client advisors are at your disposal to guide you and answer your questions.
Smooth or Grained Leather
Wipe surface stains with a soft damp cloth. Once the leather is dry, polish it in circular strokes using a high quality colourless cream and a soft cloth.
Patent Leather
Clean with a soft dampened light coloured cloth and then dry with a clean cloth. To avoid colour migration, limit contact with other leathers or highly pigmented colours.
Metallic Leather
Metallic leathers can be cleaned with the help of a soft and dry cloth.
Exotic Leather
Clean with a soft and dry cloth and then polish in the direction of the scales, using a high quality colourless cream. These leathers are delicate and very sensitive to humidity. If at anytime they do come into contact with water, sponge them carefully with a soft absorbent cloth.
Goat Suede, Calf Suede and Nubuck Leather
Suede and nubuck leathers can be maintained with a soft shoe brush to preserve the velvety texture. If shoes have been in contact with water, please allow ample time to dry before cleaning. In case of superficial stains, a rubber brush may be used.
Pony Styled Calf Leather
These precious and delicate calf leathers have kept all their natural hair due to a special tanning process. The eventual colour shades demonstrate authenticity. To clean pony styled leathers, use a soft and lightly dampened cloth and always respect the direction of the hair. Avoid repeated rubbing with abrasive objects (trouser hems, brushes…) which may alter the smooth appearance of the calf hair.
Fabric
Fabric and leather shoes, or fully fabric shoes, must never be washed by soaking in water or in a washing machine. This would cause damage or migration of colour and can detach the sole from the shoe. The textiles used at Arya Mehr have a water repellent finish that limits the risk of stains. However, the lighter coloured textiles still remain susceptible to staining. Once your textile shoes have been cleaned, please leave them to dry in the air before putting them away in their felt pouch.
Cotton canvas can be cleaned with the help of a brush or a lightly dampened cloth. Satin can be cleaned with the help of a very lightly dampened cloth using gentle circular movements. This is a delicate material, please avoid rubbing it too hard to avoid removing the anti-stain treatment. Further care should be taken to not scratch this fabric against abrasive surfaces. Goatskin or calfskin leather, suede in-socks and linings are extremely delicate. They are specially treated to stabilise the colour pigments, but there is still risk of colour release, which is due to their natural finishing.
