Footwear Care
Saphir Medaille d'Or is an exclusive premium line by French-manufacturer AVEL, Medaille d'Or is widely accepted to take the best possible care of fine shoes and leather accessories.
The line accounts its origins back to the 1925 Paris International Fair, where it won a gold medal. It is widely considered to be the best collection of shoe care products in the world and is recommended and used by some of the most prestigious luxury footwear brands.
Its hallmark is an absolute commitment to using only the highest-quality ingredients available in the concentrated, time-honored formulations in its products. Most importantly, the polishes and waxes do not contain any harmful silicones or petrol products commonly found in ordinary shoe polishes.
