Technical Information

Our famous Pâte De Luxe wax polish combines a selection of premium oils and waxes, including turpentine spirit (natural pine extract), beeswax, carnauba wax, and six other waxes with nourishing, protecting, softening and shining qualities.

Pâte De Luxe, one of Saphir Medaille d’Or’s most iconic products, is specially formulated to obtain a ‘glaçage’ or ‘mirror shine’ on the toecap of your shoes.

The pigments have been chosen for their colouring and penetrating properties as well as their transparency. Pâte De Luxe wax polish allows you to obtain an incomparable patina by applying different shades of colour to the leather surface.
Renowned shoemakers use this formulation during the shoe finishing process so by applying Pâte De Luxe as part of your shoe care routine, you will help prolong the optimal appearance of your shoes.

Suitable Uses

Pâte De Luxe wax polish is ideal for use on smooth leather shoes or boots.

Main Ingredients

The Pâte De Luxe wax polish formula is composed of three main types of natural waxes:

– Animal: Beeswax
– Vegetable: Carnauba wax (from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree)
– Mineral: Montan wax

Turpentine spirit, which is extracted from pine trees grown in Southern Europe, is another star ingredient of this special formula. It thoroughly degreases the leather and enhances the absorption of the waxes. The spirit evaporates, leaving the rich natural waxes to protect and shine.

Care Instructions

Brush the item to remove any dust or dirt.
Apply a small amount of Pâte De Luxe with a cotton chamois cloth or the Spreading Brush (Ref. 2631) to reach the welt seams and enable nourishment and protection of this delicate area.
Massage gently to allow Pâte De Luxe to nourish and provide maximum protection to the leather.
Apply one or two coats of Pâte De Luxe to the entire shoe.
Leave to dry for five minutes between coats.
Gently polish the leather with a bristle brush or a wool glove.
For a high-gloss finish, apply additional coats to the toe and heel. Avoid over-application to the vamp of the shoe because excessive movement can crack the wax coating.

Advice

1- Prepare your leather
If your shoes are dirty or clogged with wax, silicone, or resin deposits, clean the leather with Reno’Mat Leather Cleaner (ref. 0514) from the Saphir Beauté du Cuir range.
If your shoes are regularly cleaned and well maintained, we recommend Renovateur Cream (ref. 1123), which moisturises and gently cleans the leather pores without degrading the patina.
2- Nourish with Crème 1925
We recommend applying Crème 1925 after treating the leather with Pâte De Luxe. Crème 1925 contains softer waxes and nourishing shea butter.
3- Glazing with Mirror Gloss (ref. 1013)
To quickly obtain a ‘glaçage’ or ‘mirror shine’, use Mirror Gloss. Mirror Gloss contains naturally harder waxes necessary for achieving a high-shine to leather shoes.

I cant say I have ever had better customer service anywhere else! All the staff that work here are friendly and make the whole experience very personal. They certainly know what they're doing and give excellent advice! I only bought one shirt but it's my new favorite and I will be back.

First time in the store - but not the last. Oran greeted me with a smile and had suit options laid out in no time. Fitted me into a great suit and suggested a shirt, belt and tie with expertise. An enjoyable experience - thanks Oran!

My experience shopping at the store is by looking a casual shoes 👞 high quality with my proper size which can’t get anywhere my size most of time . But this place has everything and I am very happy with the service and approaching also guiding where I could park . Thanks 🙏 definitely will be back .

I have lived in Calgary for over 30 years and never knew O’Connors existed however after my first purchase O’Connors has turned into my go to haberdashery. I wish I knew earlier that such a classy men’s clothing store existed in my hometown.

I don't go shopping for clothes often, but my experience at O'Connors may change that. Needed some clothes for a summer wedding, told the gentleman what I was looking for and he hooked me up with a number of options. My pants were even hemmed before I was ready to leave the store. Extremely pleasant experience with Ryan in the shoe department. Can't recommend it enough.

A superb menswear shop in Calgary - great selection and very knowledgeable service. It's great for customers that they have parking -- simply be courteous when using their private lot (i.e., park there when you're actually planning to go in their shop).
