Arabella Block Mid Organza Bow: Fit, Style and Care Guide

Quick answer

The Arabella Block Mid Organza Bow fits true to size for most, with crossed straps that secure the foot; style the detachable bow on or off, and care for the organza by spot-cleaning and storing in a dust bag.

Step-by-step fit, style, and care guide

1. Check the fit with the straps: Try on the sandals and adjust the crossed straps so they sit comfortably without pinching. Fasten the silver buckle securely, but leave a little room for your foot to breathe. Common mistake: over-tightening the buckle can cause discomfort and mark the leather. Walk around a few steps to ensure the straps stay in place and the heel feels stable.
2. Attach or remove the bow: To style with the bow, attach it securely to the front of the shoe. To remove it, gently unfasten it and store it separately. Common mistake: pulling the bow off forcefully can stretch or tear the organza. Keep the bow in a small pouch when not attached to prevent snags.
3. Spot-clean the organza: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently dab away any dirt or marks on the organza bow. Avoid rubbing, which can fray the delicate fabric. Common mistake: using water or cleaning solutions can leave watermarks or damage the silk satin. Test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.
4. Protect the leather sole and lining: The leather sole and full leather lining are natural materials. Keep them dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Common mistake: wearing the shoes in wet conditions can stain the leather and compromise the sole. Consider adding a protective sole guard if you plan to wear them outdoors.
5. Store the shoes properly: After each wear, stuff the shoes with tissue paper to help them keep their shape and store them in a dust bag away from direct sunlight. Common mistake: stacking other shoes on top can crush the organza bow or deform the heel. Store the bow separately if it is detached, in a breathable pouch.
