how to care for your mahabis

understanding felt

felt is a strange and yet incredible material. it has its own properties and does it's own thing. and a lot of it depends on how it's made and ultimately also how it's used. different batches of felts can have different grades, textures, colours and hardnesses. over time or even how they're worn can affect how they look. you may find that the texture of the felt changes, and some batches of felt will be less or more furry than others.

 

in short, the appearance of the felt will change over time. part of the charm of mahabis slippers is the use of materials that you sometimes do and sometimes don't find in fashion.

 

cleaning your mahabis classics, mahabis flow & mahabis canvas

we hope your mahabis stay nice and fresh forever, but in the off chance they need a clean, we recommend you wash them with a damp cloth. we would not recommend machine washing mahabis. if your footbeds come out, then they can be machine washed separately at 30 degrees (on the most delicate setting).

 

 

cleaning your mahabis luxe

the outer material of the mahabis luxe relies on brushing occasionally with a fine wire or rubber ‘suede’ brush which is used to raise the fibres and remove any surface dirt. they can be easily stained, so it is a good idea to apply a nubuck/suede style protector spray before use.
