Questions about this product
What material are the Bohema Uptown Black Sandals made from?
The Bohema Uptown Black Sandals are made from Desserto cactus leather, a certified plant-based material derived from the nopal cactus plant. This makes them a fully vegan alternative to animal leather, without sacrificing a premium, structured look and feel. They are handmade in Poland in craft workshops.
Are the Bohema Uptown Sandals good for a minimalist or office style?
Yes. The Uptown Black Sandals feature a geometric block heel and a clean black silhouette, making them a versatile choice for minimalist outfits, smart-casual office looks, or evening occasions. They pair well with tailored trousers, midi skirts, and monochrome dresses.
Are the Bohema Uptown Cactus Leather Sandals true to size, and do they suit narrow or wide feet?
The Uptown Sandals are designed with a standard fit and are available in whole sizes, including a women's EU 38. If you are between sizes or have a wider forefoot, sizing up by half a size is generally recommended. The adjustable sandal straps provide some flexibility for different foot widths. If you have a very narrow foot, stay true to your usual size.
How do I care for Bohema sandals made from Desserto cactus leather?
Cactus leather (Desserto) is a plant-based material that should be kept away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading. Clean the surface gently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or traditional leather conditioners not formulated for plant-based materials. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag, to maintain their shape and finish.
