Velvet shoes: trendy instead of old-fashioned

Velvety times await us this autumn, as the noble-looking fabric is currently making a fashion comeback. From New York to Nuremberg, coats, dresses, trousers and jackets made of velvet are conquering the catwalks and cafés and showing us that the trendy pieces have nothing in common with granny fabric.

Bedded on velvet

If you think velvet dresses are too romantic or velvet coats too extravagant, you can walk around on velvet paws - velvet shoes are celebrating a splendid entry into our shoe wardrobes. This entry-level option is perfect for those who want to add a glamorous shimmer to their outfits without losing sight of everyday practicality. From elegant ankle boots to casual sneakers, velvet simply cuts a fine figure with all shoe styles.

Cleaning velvet shoes

Thanks to great waterproofing agents, you don't have to worry about velvet shoes being ruined after just a few drops of rain. After all, if you have impregnated your velvet shoes several times, they are no longer as sensitive as you might think.The first and most important thing you should do immediately after happily looking at them and trying them out in the living room is to impregnate the velvet shoes with a water-repellent spray. Velvet does not like moisture, so it is essential to treat the shoes before the first day. For waterproofing, we recommend VARIO SPRAY from Collonil.
Apply a fine layer and make sure that you spray the velvet shoes evenly so that no discolouration occurs. Use the spray more often during the season, of course after a thorough cleaning. To do this, take a slightly damp cloth and gently rub the velvet shoes with it. Then wipe with a dry cloth.

Combining velvet shoes - opposites attract

To make velvet shoes suitable for life off the catwalk, you need to create breaks in the styling. Combine classy velvet ankle boots with a monochrome A-line skirt and a cosy jumper. For elegant, sporty sneakers, go for a simple knitted dress, a beautiful belt and a leather jacket. Of course, all velvet shoes go well with everyone's favourite - blue jeans. Choose a darker wash with no frills and style them with a light wool coat and a simple top.
