SAPHIRSaphir Beauté du Cuir Renovateur - Cleans, Nourishes, Protects and Shines - with Chamois Cleaning Cloth - 50mL

This leather treatment worked very well on a recent project I did (leather valet tray/dice roll mat). I applied it after the dye dried. When applying, it picked up a bit of the leather dye, but I kept working it in and the dye that was picked up on my cloth towel was unnoticeable on the leather piece itself. Meaning, don’t be too alarmed to see some dye lift off on your applicating cloth. I saw this product being used in a leather dyeing video on YouTube - the gentleman first applied neatsfoot oil, then dyed the leather, then applied this cream/finish. The finish looks sleek, sheen and smooth. Feels great and I’ll absolutely use it again! I’d recommend!

Saphir is simply the best available. It's worth every penny. I use this on shoes and other leather products.

I've been sewing on leather for about 10 yrs, still learning new things. I usually use chrome leather, but this special project called for dyed veg tan. It really dries it out and needed a "restoration solution".....just like the video I watched said, rub it in deeply, then using a clean cloth buff the crap outta it. It is amazing. I used it on an older bag i bought in Florence almost 20 yrs ago. I live in a very dry high desert climate, and to my surprise, it made it like baby brand new leather! Love this, will use over and over.

I have a pair of limited edition artist series Doc Martens from a few years ago that I unfortunately can't replace and I absolutely love... but I also broke them in before I lost a lot of weight, and the leather has gotten so dry that they were so painful to wear I only brought them out for special occasions.I needed to do something to soften the leather up, but the outside of the leather is printed and I didn't want to run the risk of damaging it or putting something on it that would change the colors too much. This cream seemed like a decent choice- more expensive than some of the alternatives, but had a low chance of messing up the print on the leather. I put one layer on the outside and let them sit for an hour before deciding to put some on the inside, as well (the boots are unlined). It absorbed into the interior almost instantly - I wound up giving it a good layer and letting that sit before putting on a second (the second layer didn't get pulled in as fast). I let that sit again for a few hours. All told, I used about half the jar for all 3 treatments.I have them on now and even without insoles I can feel a WORLD of difference. The print on the outside of the leather looks perfect and I didn't notice any darkening of the colors, and they're so comfy to wear again! This was definitely expensive in comparison to other options, but I really didn't want to run the risk of damaging the art on these boots. Would recommend if you need to rescue something that you can't replace or something like this where there's intricate pattern/printing on the leather. My boots feel better than when they were new.

Performance:The Saphir Renovateur is a must-have for dress shoes, as it cleans, hydrates, and revives leather, bringing it back to life. A little goes a long way—my previous container lasted nearly seven years.Usage:It's super simple to use: just dab a tiny dot onto the area and spread it in a circular motion. The formula seems slightly oilier than the original, possibly due to more mink oil, but it still produces a nice shine.Versatility:The neutral color makes it easy to use on all shoe colors. For an even shinier look, you can apply polish afterward.Tips:Make sure to brush off the included chamois cloth before use to avoid leaving fibers on your shoes. If fibers appear, they can be easily blown off.Pros:Cleans, hydrates, and revives leather.Long-lasting; a little goes a long way.Neutral color for all shoe colors.Easy to use.Cons:Slightly oilier than the original formula.Conclusion:The Saphir Renovateur is an essential product for maintaining dress shoes.
