Saphir Gold Medal / Saphir Médaille d'Or Luxury Leather Care
Saphir Medaille d'Or is the highest-end collection of shoe care products available worldwide. Made in France, this exclusive line has its origins in formulations that earned Saphir the award of the GOLD MEDAL, PARIS 1925, for the quality of its leather care products. Composed of all-natural, pine-based turpentine, vegetable waxes, and mink oils, its formula has remained unchanged and has not suffered the technical progress of chemistry such as the addition of silicones, resins and other petroleum-based products which are harmful to fine leathers. The quality of Saphir's MDO collection is immediately evident when opened as one enjoys the aroma of the pine trees used in its turpentine. Saphir's products will enable you to preserve the original patina of your fine shoes, protect them against wear, and help you enjoy the special craftsmanship they were made with for many, many years to come.
CREME 1925
This original formula is uniquely worked out on beeswax, solvent (like turpentine) and shea butter basis. This unique mixture permits the use of a great variety of waxes (+ than 7 waxes) with the optimum concentration. The pigments were chosen for their dying and penetrating quality that allow to get different shades by using different colours: you will obtain incomparable sheens.
A nutritious leather cream, Crème 1925 is formulated with seven different waxes, turpentine spirit and shea butter oil. The leather absorbs the nutrients from the cream and the waxes protect and add shine. The high concentration of pigments in Crème 1925 produces a rich colour tint. The pigments work to rejuvenate the leather while also providing transparency to the original patina.
MIRROR GLASS - WAX POLISH
Saphir Medaille d’Or Mirror Gloss Wax Polish contains a high concentration of hard waxes providing an effortlessly shiny mirror finish and restored luster. This polish is perfectly balanced with natural turpentine solvent. Some waxes fin the formula are Montan wax, Carnauba wax, & Beeswax. There are a variety of colors and shades such as brown, black, and neutral made without harmful resin & silicones.
Mirror Gloss wax polish is specially created for professional bootmakers and shoe shiners seeking to obtain an impeccable gloss in a faster and easier way. The unique formula comprises some of nature’s hardest and shiniest waxes. The addition of turpentine oil, a naturally greasy solvent, hastens drying between successive coats.
RÉNO 'MAT CLEANER
Réno'Mat deeply cleans the smooth leather, from dirt and resin or silicone based deposits. Essential before the usage of shoe cream or shoe polish, it opens the pores of the leather to allow natural nourishing agents from Saphir products to penetrate the deep layers of the dermis of the leather. This deep hydration prevents leather from breaking.
Especially recommended for the maintenance of smooth leather because it is always best to clean them rather than systematically trying to hide the dirt by recolouring. Réno'Mat is also recommended for sneakers (rubber sole).
LUXURY PASTE
The Saphir Médaille d'Or Pâte de Luxe is an all-natural wax polish based on beeswax, turpentine, and carnauba with six other nutrient waxes. Widely consider to be the best polish in the world, Saphir MDO is used by shoe aficionados worldwide to deliver the high-gloss shoe shine. This luxury waxing paste is formulated to nourish, recolour, shine and protect leather.
Saphir Luxury Paste (Médaille d'Or Pâte de Luxe) is composed of three types of waxes:
- Animal waxes such as beeswax designed to nourish and soften the leather.
- Vegetable waxes such as Carnauba and Candellila to give a lasting shine.
- Mineral waxes designed to waterproof and protect the leather.
These different waxes are mixed with turpentine, a greasy natural solvent that nourishes and cleans the leather and prevents overcharge.
