Thanks a lot, purplepoodles!

I'll definitely try the vaseline with the vintage Chanels and get the brush for the exotics, as the chamois wasn't ideal because I had to pick lint off some spots. By the way, Saphir Reptan was great on alligator and crocodile and it was odorless. Hallelujah!



I feel your pain as well. My DH suffers from allergies, so I know how bad it can be :/

Thanks! Much appreciated I'll certain pick up Saphir Reptan the next chance I get.

Hi blondissima, I use the renovateur medaille d'or.

Ok, please don't laugh, is this the 75 ml bottle that has a round cap, but a square-glass jar, bc I have the option to buy the Renovateur in 50 ml round jar and round cap or the 75 ml. Will it make a difference? I did the Blackrock's and obenauf on one of box's and now have 3-box bags that need conditioning and am out of Blackrock's. Thanks!

I'm not Jadeite but I have the 75 ml square jar with the round cap. I didn't know there was a round smaller one. I buy it on the Valmour website.

My country doesn't carry Renovateur nor Blackrock and I would need to buy one online. May I know for a beginner which should i pick for box calf? For just general conditioning. Thanks.

Thanks so much duna :)!
I know this is off topic, but have you tried it on swift? I wanted to use it for a swift bag I bought as well.

You're welcome!

Actually yes, I used it on Swift the other day for the first time: I first tryed it on the inside of the flap (Birkin) then when I saw that it was OK I did the whole bag. I'm very sattisfied..... But do try it on a hidden part of the bag before, just to be sure!

Interesting Duna you reminded me I have never worked in my swift bags. They are soft and most scratch free so I never had to.

Thank you so much. That's good news. Maybe I won't bother ordering more Blackrock's for now.

My Swift Birkin is 10 years old and I have never treated it nor sent to the H spa, it didn't need it. Then a few days ago I took it out to use it and remembered that I had never done anything to it, not that it looks dry, the leather is super soft and supple without any scratches, but I thought a little drink wouldn't hurt it, lol! So I tried a bit of Renovateur on a hidden spot, and then did the whole bag. Fantastic product!!!

I also have the Renovateur Nappa which is also great on Boxcalf, but I think I prefer the plain Renovateur: the leather seems to shine more.

Hope this is not straying off topic for this thread
There are two ranges of Saphir products:

'Saphir Beauté De Cuir' and a premium range 'Saphir Medaille dOr 1925 Paris'
the Medaille dOr range renovator and balm include mink oil in their descriptions.

Does anybody have any thoughts on which is the best choice for H box calf?

Thanks

Definately the Medaille d'Or range. As I mentioned above, I use the Renovateur and the Renovateur Nappa, both Medaille d'Or. The jars are square with black lid, Jadeite posted a pic a few posts up.
