Crème 1925 Pommadier Cream

The Benchmark in Luxury Leather Shoe Cream

For more than a century, Saphir Médaille d'Or Crème 1925 has been trusted by leather shoe enthusiasts, shoemakers, and craftsmen worldwide. Considered one of the finest nourishing creams available for smooth leather, it is formulated to deeply condition, restore colour, protect, and enhance the natural beauty of fine leather footwear.

Its renowned formula combines seven different waxes, plant-derived turpentine essence, and shea butter. As the cream penetrates the leather, it delivers essential nutrients that help maintain suppleness and prevent drying, while the waxes create a protective layer that enhances shine and helps shield the leather from everyday wear.

Crème 1925 is also distinguished by its high concentration of pigments, which refresh and enrich faded leather while preserving the transparency and character of the original patina. The result is a beautifully nourished leather surface with renewed depth of colour, subtle elegance, and lasting protection.

Tips from Preston

When selecting a colour, an exact match is not always necessary. If you are between shades, choosing a slightly lighter colour will minimise darkening and allow the existing leather colour to remain dominant. Darker shades can be used intentionally to create richer, more nuanced patinas over time.

As with any pigmented leather care product, always test on a discreet area first to evaluate the final appearance.
