The Saphir story began in 1920 in Faverges, France, where leather-care formulations were developed with leather specialists. In 1925 the brand received a gold medal at the Paris exhibition, helping establish the reputation that became associated with Saphir leather care.
Saphir specializes in products for cleaning, conditioning, polishing and protecting leather. Its range includes pigmented creams, wax polishes, cleaners, protectors and related care tools, with different formulations designed for specific leather types and stages of a shoe-care routine.
Saphir’s identity is built around specialist leather care rather than general household maintenance. Different products are intended to perform different jobs, from cleaning and conditioning to restoring color, building shine and protecting leather, which gives the brand a clear technical focus.
