I got one from there too. Costs around 25+. But there are actually a few sellers to choose from. Apparently some claimed to be the OEM for woodlore

Do you polish to high shine? You need reno > cream > wax

If not reno > creme is good enough for maintenance.

Two horsehair brush one black one brown (wax on/off or black/other shoes)

If you dont use fingers or cloth to apply you need a dauber brush for each color cream.

One polishing cloth

Elbow grease


First time, brush away dust, apply reno or cream a couple of layers and let the leather absorb overnight before polishing.

Thanks, I'm not looking to polish to a high shine.

So I'll just get the SAPHIR MEDAILLE D'OR RENOVATOR CREAM and the SAPHIR MEDAILLE D'OR POMMADIER CREAM POLISH (2 colours)?

Yup. Use the reno as a base then cream to polish.

Anyone attended the Septième Largeur Singapore Launch on Thursday, 28 November?

How is it? Any feedbacks?

 

[Nyan]

u guys can check out berluti. The shoes can last up till 10 years. The leather of the shoes can go through this treatment called patina where u can change colour of the leather at any time.

That's what Septième Largeur is offering, as BDC mentioned earlier, they're like a rival to Berluti.

 

[Carnage]

Was there earlier.

The price is a disappointment. $630 for their dress shoes and $300 for the loafers. $750 for the patina.

They don't have an option of repairing your shoes locally now if you require re-welting.

 

[arctuates]

I don't seem to remember them being that ex when I visited the Paris store in February leh.

They were not. 250 euros over there, price more than doubles when it reaches our shores.

I hope I managed to keep my poker face when I heard the price. To be honest, I was very disappointed,

 

[arctuates]

Wait, so the last time I visited I was told I could place an order, they'll ship it over. Hypothetically, now they'll tell me I need to visit the SG branch instead, and pay double the price at least? Notwithstanding I should think I can claim the 12% VAT if it were shipped from France.

That'd really be cornering the market, man.
