Description
Collonil Lack Mousse — keep your patent leather glossy, supple and crack-free.
Patent leather looks stunning when it’s gleaming, but it needs the right care. Standard leather creams and polishes can contain solvents that leave dull marks on that glossy surface, so patent really does deserve a product made just for it. Collonil Lack Mousse is exactly that — a light, easy mousse that cleans and cares for patent leather while preserving the shine you bought it for.
What I like about this mousse is how much it does in one simple step. It preserves the elasticity of the lacquer, which reduces the risk of those fine cracks that patent is prone to, and it leaves an anti-static finish so the surface attracts less dust and dirt. A little rubbed in, and your patent shoes or bag look freshly polished again.
Patent leather tends to come out for the occasions that matter most — weddings, evening events, smart work shoes and party pieces. That’s all the more reason to keep it in good order between wears rather than discovering a dull, cracked surface the night before you need it. A quick treatment with this mousse takes moments and keeps your patent pieces looking their showstopping best, whether they’re black brogues, court shoes or a favourite handbag.
Why choose Collonil Lack Mousse?
- Made for patent leather — formulated for lacquered finishes, unlike ordinary creams that can dull the gloss.
- Keeps it supple — maintains the elasticity of the lacquer, helping to prevent cracks and creases.
- Anti-static finish — the treated surface attracts less dust and dirt, so your shoes stay cleaner for longer.
- Restores the shine — brings back that signature high-gloss patent look in moments.
- Effortless to apply — simply rub the mousse in; there’s no buffing marathon involved.
How to use Collonil Lack Mousse
- Wipe your patent leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dust and dirt.
- Apply a small amount of mousse to a clean, soft cloth.
- Rub it gently and evenly over the patent surface.
- Let it work for a moment, then lightly polish with a fresh cloth for a clear, even gloss.
- Repeat whenever the shine starts to fade or the surface feels dry.
Haico’s tip
Patent leather hates the cold — in low temperatures it stiffens and becomes far more prone to cracking. Keeping it conditioned with this mousse helps enormously, and I’d always store patent shoes somewhere room-temperature rather than a chilly hallway or garage.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use normal shoe cream on patent leather instead?
It’s best not to. Many standard creams contain solvents that can leave permanent dull patches on patent. A dedicated product like this mousse is much safer.
Does it work on coloured patent, not just black?
Yes — it’s a clear, caring formula that maintains and shines patent of any colour without altering the shade.
Will it hide scratches?
It restores gloss and freshens the surface, which helps light scuffs blend in, but deep scratches in the lacquer can’t be fully removed by any product.
Can I use it on patent handbags?
Yes — it’s just as at home on patent leather bags and accessories as it is on shoes, keeping the gloss bright and the surface supple.
