Saphir Cordovan Cream Shoe Polish - 75ml

The Saphir Médaille d'Or Cordovan Cream Shoe Polish is specially formulated to meet the unique care requirements of cordovan leather. Unlike polishes designed for soft leathers like calfskin, this all-natural cream does not contain turpentine, which can cause cordovan's tightly compressed fibers to expand and lose their distinctive character. Sourced from horses bred in the United States and crossed with wild Dakota horses, cordovan leather undergoes a unique tanning process, including compression with glass bottles, to achieve its signature strength, smoothness, and weather resistance. This structure allows the leather to develop a rich patina over time, making it instantly recognizable. To preserve cordovan’s durability and refined appearance, regular maintenance is essential. Saphir’s Cordovan Cream contains beeswax, a high concentration of pigments, and nourishing neatsfoot oil, which deeply conditions the leather while maintaining its dense fiber structure. Available in multiple shades, the polish allows for easy color matching, and for those seeking a precise tone, different colors can be blended or used in neutral form. Because of cordovan’s unique composition, pigment is not always necessary, making a specialized cordovan polish far superior to creams designed for other types of leather. Care instructions: Remove any dust or dirt from the shoe with a cleaner. Spread Saphir's Cordovan Cream on the shoe and gently massage into the leather. Allow the cream to dry for approximately five minutes. Buff off polish with a horsehair brush. Polish with a soft cotton cloth or chamois and one or two drops of water.
