Care Tips
To keep your Platin Pearl shoes looking their best and to preserve their refined finish, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Clean the upper gently: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away daily dust and dirt from the recycled microfibre upper. Dab the material gently rather than rubbing, which helps protect the delicate Platin Pearl metallic finish and the intricate laser-cut detailing.
- Machine wash option: For a more thorough clean, remove the insole and place the shoes in the washing machine on a 30°C wash. Allow them to air dry naturally afterwards.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or solvents on the shoe. These can easily strip the subtle shimmer and degrade the microfibre material.
- Refresh the outsole: To clean the flexible natural and recycled rubber sole, use a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift away dried mud and debris.
- Dry naturally: If your shoes become wet, always allow them to air dry at room temperature in a well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct strong sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the
FAQ’s
How does the Ilse Jacobsen Tulip shoe fit, and what size is recommended?
The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip shoe is available in full sizes and generally offers a slightly generous fit.

Additionally, the soft recycled microfibre upper gently yields over time to naturally accommodate the shape of the foot.
Is this shoe suitable for wider or narrower feet?
This shoe accommodates a variety of foot widths due to its pliable microfibre upper and unrestrictive design.
