Munekawa has discontinued its original leather care cream and started selling the new "Collonil 1909 Supreme Cream Deluxe" from the German company Collonil.
As we began to handle a wider variety of leathers, including Buttero, bridle leather, and cordovan, we sought a more versatile care product that could be used on many leather items, leading to this switch.
To ensure that our customers can use it safely on any leather and make daily maintenance a more pleasant experience, this blog post introduces the Collonil cream we have chosen as our new standard.
Reasons for Switching Care Creams
The main reason for switching to Collonil's care cream is its "versatility for a wide range of leathers," including cordovan and bridle leather.
Our original care cream, which we had been selling, was developed to suit leathers like Buttero. While it was a gentle cream that could be used on a wide range of leathers, it sometimes felt a bit too moist for cordovan and bridle leather.
As the variety of leathers we handle increased, we felt the need for a product that customers wouldn't hesitate to choose, wondering "which cream should I use?" That's how we arrived at Collonil's leather care cream.
Collonil cream blends well with various leathers that have different textures, and its lightness is appealing, as one bottle can handle multiple leather accessories for those who own them.
Furthermore, the fact that it is a long-established manufacturer that has been producing leather care products for over 100 years and has gained global trust was another reason we could confidently adopt it.
Features of Collonil Leather Cream
What we found particularly appealing as we used it for daily care was its "ease of use."
The cream itself is very fresh and easy to spread thinly and evenly over the leather surface, allowing even beginners to achieve a consistent finish.
In addition to its high versatility, covering even cordovan and bridle leather, another attractive feature is that its consistency changes little with temperature, maintaining a stable usability throughout the year.
Moreover, the subtle scent of cedarwood that wafts during maintenance transforms routine care into a slightly more pleasant experience. While there are many care creams available, this is the one we would recommend first to anyone wondering, "What should I buy?"
Two Product Lines: Large Volume and Trial Kit
Currently, Munekawa's online store offers two types.
Collonil 1909 Supreme Cream Deluxe (100ml)
For those who want to take their time with care at home, the large 100ml size is recommended. You can freely care for multiple leather products, from wallets and card cases to larger bags, with just this one item.
Collonil 1909 Supreme Cream Deluxe Trial Kit
For those who want to "try it out first" or "want something easy to carry when traveling," the trial kit is recommended. It comes with 20ml of cream, a dedicated brush, and a cloth, making it compact and portable. It's not only great for personal use but also makes a wonderful gift to accompany a leather wallet or other leather items.
For long-lasting use, a daily essential
To ensure your cherished leather products last longer and remain in excellent condition, Munekawa has chosen Collonil cream.
This product offers versatility that suits any leather and the reliability expected from a long-established manufacturer.
Watching leather change its expression through care is one of the great pleasures of using leather products. Choose what suits your lifestyle and enjoy the time spent nurturing your own unique item through daily maintenance.
