Medaille D’Or Saphir

The Difference Between Saphir Medaille D’Or And Saphir Products

March 21, 2018

When you are looking for superior shoe and leather care products it is no surprise the name Saphir is mentioned frequently. The Gold Medal, or Medaille D’Or, was awarded to the Saphir products entered into the 1925 International Exposition held in Paris. Because of the high quality of the polishes and other products honoured in Paris this range has withstood the test of time and is still offered virtually unchanged to discerning owners of leather today. These products can be for shoe care but they also extend into textile and synthetic care, hence the different formulations. Both Saphir lines will impress even the skeptic with their performance and economy of use. Because of the outstanding quality of the ingredients a little goes a long way. Buy and use either line with confidence.

Caring for Leather: Five Items Everyone Forgets

March 21, 2018

We all know that boots and shoes can benefit from regular cleaning, conditioning and polishing with high quality leather care products. But many other leather items that work hard for us in our daily lives also could use a cleaning and conditioning routine. Clean and condition belts at least once monthly and see how much they improve your fashionable look while lasting years longer. Make time every time you clean and polish your shoes to check your most used bags; every two weeks would be a reasonable routine for bags used often. Ensure these beautiful and expensive small leathers continue to serve you well for years by using the high quality products from the French leather experts at Avel / Saphire, including color restorers, de-salters and creams for even the most delicate, buttery leathers. Try a natural product like Woly Natura Lemon Cleaner to insure a healthy, safe and breathable living area even after a thorough leather cleaning of household items. Be sure to clean and condition after use or at least yearly.

How to Clean and Maintain Sports Equipment

March 20, 2018

Late summer is a great time to take inventory of your and your family’s sports equipment, including taking the time to repair, condition and properly store the items so they are ready the next time you need them. Many sports use padded protective items like shoulder guards, shin guards and helmets. Often protective equipment and the tools of your favorite sports are made of leather, as are the all-important footwear individualized to the different sports. With proper care most sports equipment can last for many seasons to come, and with a little planning, the proper products and a judicious application of time and elbow grease your equipment will remain in the game.
