In José de Mora we have a line of Footwear handcrafted from exotic skinsThe market for exotic skins is currently very limited, mainly because the skins of this category that were used in the past belonged to animal species that are now in danger of extinction and currently the legislation in most countries prohibits the hunting of these animals and the manufacture of garments with skins or products derived from them. 

Needless to say, in Jose de Mora We support legislation in this regard because we believe in the importance of preserving the environment and its fauna and flora. For this reason, our line of exotic skins focuses primarily on shoes made from python snake skin with a certificate of origin, guaranteeing that its origin is legal and that it meets the requirements for preserving these species of snake.

The python skin It is highly prized for its characteristics and in this article we are going to give you some tips to keep your python skin shoes in optimal condition.

1. Do not leave your python shoes exposed to the sun for long periods of time. This could cause the leather to dry out or change color, especially in those pieces that preserve the natural color of the leather.

1. For the same reason as before, it is important to keep our shoes away from heat sources as much as possible.

1. Avoid contact with liquids, including water. Due to its characteristics, natural python skin will absorb liquids, especially water, which can cause deformation or, in extreme cases, irreparable damage. If, for example, our shoes get wet on a rainy day, the best thing to do is to dry them by gently wiping them with a cotton cloth, always in the direction of the scales, and leave them to dry at room temperature in a dry place. Never use heat sources such as hair dryers.

1. If they get dirty, it is best to clean them with baby wipes or a damp, but not wet, cotton cloth. When cleaning with the cloth or wipe, always follow the direction of the scales to avoid lifting them and damaging them.

1. For dust we can use a low-hardness toothbrush and brush carefully.

1. When storing them, the ideal is a cool, dry place; a cotton bag in the right cupboard can be a good option.

1. It is also important to moisturise the skin once a year. There are specific products for this that can be found online. It is important not to overuse the product and to apply a very thin layer, so as not to over-moisturise. Use a cotton cloth to spread the product.
