Cleaning & Polishing Spatula Brush - Saphir Médaille d'Or 1925

The Small Spatula Brush by Saphir is a precision shoe care accessory designed for cleaning, conditioning, and polishing hard-to-reach areas of leather footwear. Its compact size and narrow brush head make it particularly effective for maintaining stitching, welts, and other delicate details where traditional brushes cannot reach.

Expertly crafted in France, the brush features a hand-polished Sipo wood handle, distinguished by its rich reddish-brown colour, dark grain, and exceptional density. The white boar bristles offer the ideal balance of firmness and flexibility for controlled product application and effective cleaning.

Perfect for detailed shoe maintenance, this versatile brush helps remove accumulated dirt and dust while allowing creams and wax polishes to be applied precisely along the welt and stitching, helping preserve and protect your footwear.
