Collonil Nubuk + Textile Lavender 508 – Lavender Suede Colour Reviver 100ml

Description

Collonil Nubuk + Textile Lavender 508 – colour back into suede, nubuck and fabric

Lavender suede is beautiful and completely unforgiving. Sunlight fades it, rain leaves tide marks and the nap goes flat and grey where it rubs. Once that happens a brush alone will not save it: you need pigment. This lavender suede colour reviver is a liquid colour care lotion made specifically for suede, nubuck and textile, and it puts the soft mauve tone back where it has washed out.

The clever part is the bottle. Collonil fit a sponge dispenser to the top, so you press the sponge onto the material and the lotion comes through evenly. That makes it accurate enough to work around pale soles, contrast stitching and combination uppers where a spray would go everywhere. It also means you can spot-treat a single faded panel rather than redoing the whole shoe.

Collonil have been making leather care in Berlin since 1909, and this 100ml bottle is one of the range’s quiet heroes. It works on trainers with suede panels, desert boots, ankle boots, suede handbags and fabric uppers alike, including high-tech materials.

Why choose Collonil Nubuk + Textile Lavender 508?

• Colour and conditioning in one – the lotion revives the shade while keeping the fibres soft, so the nap stands up again instead of staying matted.
• Sponge dispenser for real precision – press, apply, done. You can work right up to a light sole or a stitched edge without flooding it.
• Made for suede, nubuck and textile – this is not a smooth-leather cream pressed into service. It is formulated for napped and woven materials, including high-tech fabrics.
• Ideal for spot repairs – faded toe, scuffed heel, one bleached panel – treat just the area that needs it and blend outwards.
• Berlin quality since 1909 – Collonil is one of the oldest names in shoe care and the consistency of the product reflects a century of practice.

How to use Collonil Nubuk + Textile Lavender 508

1. Brush all surface dirt, mud and dust off the shoes with a suede brush and let them dry fully.
2. Shake the bottle well – the pigment settles, so this step matters.
3. Press the sponge top down onto the material a few times to charge the sponge.
4. Work the lotion on evenly with light, overlapping strokes. Be generous enough to wet the nap properly, but do not soak the shoe.
5. Blend outwards from any faded patch so there is no hard edge between treated and untreated areas.
6. Let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun.
7. Once dry, brush the nap up again with a suede brush to restore the texture. Add a second coat if the colour still looks thin.

Frequently asked questions

Will it change the colour of my shoes?

It refreshes rather than recolours. A pigmented shade like lavender is intended for use on material that is already that colour, or very close to it, so it deepens and evens out what is there. It will not turn a grey shoe lavender.

Can I use it on combination uppers with leather trim?

Yes, and this is where the sponge dispenser earns its keep. You can apply the lotion accurately to the suede or fabric panels while keeping it off smooth leather trim and pale soles. Wipe any accidental marks off smooth leather straight away.

How do I get the nap back afterwards?

Let the shoes dry completely at room temperature, then work over them with a suede brush using short, brisk strokes in different directions. That lifts the fibres and brings back the velvety surface. Never use heat to speed up drying.
