I had been searching for a video like this. Thank you! You sound like my favourite teacher 👨🏫 👌🏼🙏🏼
Great job Kirby. Thanks for the video.
Nothing like a Neapolitan tailored fitted suit. I grew up in Napoli and I applaud your impeccable taste.
Hi Kirby, thank you for the great video
Doing leathercare in a beige suit takes balls
Myr0n hahaha
And a white shirt! Kirby, you have very steady hands!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Thank you for this great video! What bag is that? I love it!
Thanks Kirby for the excellent video. One of my bag has an area that's may have rubbed against some rough surface and have a patch on the side that's scratched and discolored a little. I've followed your instructions and applied the Saphir Juvacuir and Saphir Canadian, and the discoloration is gone and blended in with the rest pretty well. However, not sure if I've applied too much of the products, the pattern of the leather got flattened a little and lost some of it's texture. As a result, the area become more reflective and stand out in the light. What would you recommend in this situation to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Appreciate you for this 💪🏽
Amazing video! Very interesting! I have a black Wandrd Prvke which is a camera backpack I bought recently. The bag is made from a combination of tarpaulin and Robic nylon. Tarpaulin (commonly referred to as tarp) is water phobic, tough and flexible. A very nice material. The other day I accidentally rubbed the bag against the wall causing a white scuff/scratch on one of the side pockets. It looks terrible and I'm looking for something to fix it with. Do you think that the Saphir Juvacuir could help me solve the problem even if the bag is not made of leather? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi Kirby, thanks for the video! I have a question about repair scratches on mirror-shine leather handbag. I noticed that in your another video talking about mirror shine shoes, you used the product Pate De Luxe + mirror gloss. For my case, the handbag has many deep scratches need to be filled. Can I use renovating cream + canadian, and then apply the mirror gloss? Is pate De Luxe necessary here?
Hi Kirby, do you have any recommendations for cleaning and protecting the handles on a briefcase?
I have a beautiful leather black briefcase with nickel fittings my wife gave me 20 years ago. It was faded by the sun in some areas. I purchased your products and followed your steps. It looks brand new. I'm happy to be able to use it again.
That's great!! Thank you for sharing!!
Would this process work for black scuffed leather motorcycle boots? Great videos btw, the best and most informative I've seen so far.
Hi Kirby! Just watched your video--very informative. I was wondering if the Juvacuir would cover pen marks on a cream/ivory colored leather handbag?
Hey Kirby, excellent video as usual, could you please consider doing a video on the cleaning and conditioning of leather bags. Thanks much.
Stay tuned! We have one airing soon!
Many thanks for this helpful video, it seems like the leather of your bag is Saffiano? Can I use the same care technique for the Vuitton Taiga leather?
The trouble with bags is they are next to your clothes when using. How can be sure no product will rub off on my threads. That's why polish won't really work. Do these products rub off after dry?
I was wondering if I can use canadian after the renovateur? Coz I’ve done dabbing it on the edges already. Thank you so much. Please reply 😊
What would you recommend for a vintage mustard yellow bag? If the only colorant option you have is the renovating cream, is there a way to make it work?
Hello! Thank you for the helpful video! You just saved me 200 dollars! Do you have any video regarding how to clean designer bag lining inside which stains marks. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the video, are these products 100% natural?
Kirby, so what is the difference between the renovateur cream and the canadian ... especially as an application as a top coat after recolouring leather bag/jacket.
I have a mahogany leather bag from Johnston & Murphy. Purchased the saphir Canadian and saphir renovating repair cream. The color on the renovating repair cream was not the same as the saphir canadian. It was a lighter shade of brown
We need a “what’s in Kirby’s daily carry bag”. Would love to see how you organize the inside. Do you keep your laptop in a case and so forth.
Hello Kirby, would Juvacuir be a good product to use for a pair of shoes that have been discolored due to too much Saphir Decapant Leather Stripper ?
Could these products be used on a calfskin leather bag?
Hi! Can i also do this on my box calf kelly? Thanks!
I need to do some work on my leather messenger bag and it needs a serious recolor so I was going to grab the Cognac Saphir Juvacuir as well as the Saphir Canadian Cream. The problem is that the Canadian Cream does not come in Cognac. Do you think I can get Light Brown and mix the two colors? Or do I need to suck it up and get Light Brown in the Juvacuir as well?
Do u have something for my white coach purse..i'd love to restore my purse
What would you suggest for a structured black calfskin leather purse with white scuffs on the edges and bottom?
No disrespect, video is actually very informative. Great job! Having said that, when is describes by step the creams and how he is gonna use it... kinda gave me an American Psycho feel, like when he describes at rhe begining of the movie his routine and all the ointments, after shave, masks and balms his using. Maybe its just me. Cheers!
I have a question, will it be better if perform a total clean with Reno 'Mat or other suitable leather cleaner prior any color cream?
Does the Renovating Repair Cream need to be sealed after application or is there no color transfer?
After I applied those recoloring products on my bag, will the color be rubbed off next time I try to apply regular leather conditioner? or will the color rubbed off on my clothes?
Probably one of my favorite training videos you’ve shot. Thanks Kirby! Question- how often do you condition your leather goods?
franciscooolopez123 These products are the same products I would probably use on any larger leather good
@@kirbyallison you did not answered the man's question kirby 🤦🏼♂️
@@alexg.9279 😆 so awkward
Could you use the same products on pebbled leather?
Very good video, i want to buy this product. where's the best plac to buy this product in dubai. let me know thanks!
Hi, does this work on caviar leather?
Hello I wanna ask if what can I use to get cure the imprints and scuffs on my Satinated Calfskin Celine? Is this okay to use ?
How much do these products cost? And would it not be better for something like leather honey? A more overall protection?
Hi ! Does this work on brushed leather? Also on white?
Another quality video Mr. Allison, would it be possible to show what are the steps to care for your leather bags like laptop bags or duffle bags as well as briefcase to name a few? I.e. how to protect them from the rain as well as how to regain the factor shine? Thank so much for the help keep up the great work!
Travel Guy I think all the steps would be the same that we showed in this video. You could use a waterproofing product for added rain protection. But otherwise, everything would be the same.
Hi Kirby, love all your videos! I've learned a lot from them. Actually it was after watching your videos that I have confidence to purchase my first pair of laced-up dress shoes, a pair of Paul Evans wholecut. And then I saw your video on Chromexcel boots, so I went and bought a pair of Thursday shoes with Chromexcel leather. I love the fit so much, I just ordered another pair of their brown Thursday Chrome leather wholecut... Do you think it's a good idea to give a mirror shine to the toe and heel area? I'm hoping you can help me because I couldn't find much information on the internet
Raymond Lee I would avoid using any type of waxed polish with Chromexcel. It just changes the texture of the old leather too much.
Hi Kirby, another excellent video...very timely. I have a Hartmann belting leather bag that has some scratches that I would like to minimize. Given it is belting leather, I don't know what color or if I should a color? What Saphire products should I use? And how should they be applied? Thank you very much!
John Tocho I don’t think of the protocol would be any different than what we recommend in this video. The only trouble you might have is matching the color of the leather. You can use Nuance chart, or you can just order one or two different colors and see what works best.
I see the only Canadian color available is the Neutral my bag is a light brown/cognac. Is the Neutral ok?
Hi Kirby, Thank you very much for your videos. Where I come from (Singapore), it is fairly humid and this leads to problems with mould on my leather shoes and bags. Do you have any tips on how people in my part of the world can prevent our leather items from getting mouldy, and how we can treat the leather after they have been affected by mould? Thanks!
Damien Chng How do you store your leather items? You could consider a dehumidifier for your closet. I would certainly recommend storing all of your pieces in a way that allows the leather to breathe. It’s certainly would not want to be storing them in any type of plastic.
Kirby, thank you for addressing this issue. I have a great leather briefcase is tan but have an issue you did not address that of a stain. In my case several that have blemished the leather. How and what would you recommend to remove them. I believe they were caused by coffee splashed onto the leather. Appreciate any help.
Robert Sweeney personally, I think the stains gives a bag character and patina,. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You could use some of the Saphir Juvacuir to color over that spot if it really bothers you.
I have ligth pink bag ..to restore scratches...where can i buy this product in pink
1 question. Can I polish my nappa leather briefcase? If can but how? Thanks
Good timing. If I have a chili colored briefcase does saphir sell anything for that color? Also what to use to nourish the leather between touch ups? Saphir renovateur?
MBisFrenchy I’d use the Canadian for nourishment, not the Renovateur. The Canadian is available in many colors.
Can this be used on a burgundy pebbled leather?
I'm wondering what you have in regard to pull up leather? I've recently been given a new laptop bag that's an awesome dark brown/burgundy. I have lanolin saddle conditioner that I used on my heavy leather jacket and it worked great. I'm not sure if I can safely use it on my bag.
Popey squirrel Sound safe to use me
I don’t want to use a product with mink oil in it. Can I use any of these?
thank you for sharing Kirby, i loved all of your video. I'm currently helping my girlfriend cleaning her leather bags, do you have any recommendation to treat light colored leather bags which have accumulated dirt or in my case darkening effect after long time usage that cant be removed with renomat? thank you for the help. the bags I'm currently dealing with is in navy blue BTW
I have several bags that are showing the wear on the bottom corners as you mentioned in your video. The overall condition of my bags is good, just the corners. Is the repair creme which is the one you use last, sufficient for touching up the corners and will they then look renewed again? Thank you.
Mary Lou Webb i have the same problem! I keep my bag very carefully on the surface, but it still gets a little scratch at the bottom corner, tho unnoticeable but it feels itchy when your leather bag is scratched
Thanks Kirby, I have had this question for quite some time. May I know the difference between the Canadian and normal renovateur or saphir shoe cream?
Wongheichi I’m not sure of the exact differences... the Canadian is similar to the Pommadier Cream Polish (conditions, recolors, shines), but is meant for larger leather goods and (if buffed well) is supposed to not rub off.
Can I use it on pebbled leather?
is it good for Louis vuitton bag too?
What would you recommend for a scuffed leather bag? Would the same routine work? I was thinking to try the leather stripper frim your website and recolour. It is a dark brown colour bag.
I'd recommend same routine.
Does it transfer onto clothes or surfaces?
Is there anything I can do to repair about a 2 inch cut/scratch. It’s hard to describe. The rest of the bag is in perfect shape but it looks like almost like a knife cut because it’s so precise it hasn’t completely split the leather but it’s a very deep cut. Wondering if there’s any flexible repair or saphir product I can use.
You can sand it a bit to smooth it out and then use a product like the Saphir Juvacuir to recolor
I have a coach messenger in dark brown. I am confused as to what color I should use. Any idea? It is vintage but I am deciding to restore it to all of its glory. Dark brown, Tobacco, or medium brown? Thanks
We have a color card you can purchase or download... or I would probably go for the lighter of the close matches. Tobacco Brown is quite nice.
Hi Kirby, I may have over conditioned my Coach bag with the Canadian creme. Is there anyway I can reverse this?
Could try to pull off gently w the Reno’Mat. But be careful to test it first.
Good video as always, thanks for the knowledges Kirby. I've developed a huge interest in the Russian hide and the story behind. Would you do a video about nourishing and mirror shining the leather?
thanh binh Nguyen Unfortunately there’s no product specifically for the Russian reindeer that’s available. I would use the Saphir Renivateur. It’s especially important to keep the Russian reindeer hydrated in order to prevent cracking.
Kirby, how would you suggest we clean one of your chaimois after it has been used?
eric Gershon You can wash them with light detergent in the washing machine. They get better the longer you use them, so I definitely recommend washing and holding onto them
What is price creams. Plz tell me
Kirby I have a question that's a bit off topic. I have a pair of chromexel leather boots that i made the mistake of adding hard wax to. Im starting to see a crack in the upper of one of the boots can this be repaired?
Darrian Gario You really can’t fix cracking, and I doubt this was caused by the polish. But you can use the Saphir Reno’Mat to remove the hard waxes.
The Hanger Project what do you think causes the cracking. Poor cleaner? Excessive hydration.
My kitten scratched the leather on my purse. How do I get rid of the noticeable scratches?
Dear Kirby, much appreciated if you could recommend product for my Herems Kelly bag with Ardennes natural leather in gold (lighter brown) colour.
Love your videos btw :D
Wphew. I hesitate to make recommendations on such an expensive bag. I do know that Hermes uses Saphir. You could use the Nappa Leather Balm (no waxes - just conditioning). The Renovating Repair Cream also good for edges.
The Hanger Project thank you very much for your reply especially on Sunday!
I have a question, how to repair a bag because it's peeling off. Please help
Can juvacuir be used to recolor the sole edges?
Arnold Arnoldsson Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish is great for edges. I then really like to finish with the Saphir Mirror Gloss to shine.
Do you receive pay from Saphir for promoting their product? It's always difficult to know if the product is good and that's why it's being used or if it's being used because of sponsorship. Otherwise, the video was very informative.
can you remove chratches from seeedes
Where can I find this bag (or something similar?)
James Pålsson good question… Try Frank Clegg. They do incredible pieces. This briefcase is technically an overnight bag. You won’t find anything this large marketed as a briefcase.
How should I prevent scratching on a new bag that gets scratches so easily
You baby it.
Can an ordinary handkerchief be folded to pass for a pocket square?
Jerry Gundecker Yes, you just have to be OK with the handkerchief being more voluminous than a pocket square.
What about other colours?
I recently used this product on a briefcase but didn't do a good job with buffing the excess off. It rubbed on my clothes. :( I'll do better next time.
BibbityBop Yeah... less is more. And good buffing. Honestly, a pig bristle brush would be even better. Sorry about that!
How remove super glue from leather bag please?
How to remove scratches from black paint
but how do i remove the scratchings from my childhood beatings?
Kirby the type of well dressed gentleman, that mirror shines his briefcase with mirror gloss and pate de luxe.
DANTHEMAN NERF Didn’t use the mirror gloss with this, but it certainly would’ve made it look better. LOL.
Kirby, don't you clean your bags with a little leather soap and water first?
!
Bit of an advert for saphir. There are a lot of other products
Ridiculous. A light suit and white shirt worn to repair bags.
Too much talking
