Description
Saphir Crepe Brush Combi – Suede & Nubuck Brush — two tools in one for keeping suede and nubuck at their best.
Nubuck has a much finer, more delicate pile than suede, and a normal hard-bristle brush can quickly ruin it. That is where a crepe brush comes in. The natural rubber crepe gently grips dust and dirt, lifting it away while re-fluffing the nap and restoring the original texture. This Saphir version pairs that soft crepe with a handy nylon brush, so you can also reach into seams and tackle more stubborn dirt.
It is a thoughtful, practical tool for anyone who loves their suede and nubuck footwear. One end for gentle everyday care, the other for the tricky corners — a genuine workhorse in any shoe care kit.
Why choose the Saphir Crepe Brush Combi?
- Safe for delicate nubuck: soft natural crepe cleans and re-fluffs the pile without damaging it.
- Two tools in one: crepe on one side, a nylon brush on the other for stubborn dirt and crevices.
- Revives the nap: lifts flattened fibres so suede and nubuck look velvety again.
- Comfortable to handle: the shaped body makes it easy to control and store.
- Made by Saphir: quality craftsmanship from a trusted name in leather care.
How to use the Saphir Crepe Brush Combi
- Make sure your suede or nubuck is dry.
- Brush the crepe side gently across the surface to lift dust and raise the nap.
- Work in the direction of the grain for an even finish.
- Use the nylon brush for seams, edges and any stubborn dirt.
Haico’s tip: use the crepe side for routine care and save the firmer nylon brush for the tricky bits — that way your nubuck keeps its lovely soft finish for far longer.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a crepe brush and a suede brush?
A crepe brush uses soft rubber that is gentle enough for delicate nubuck, whereas a harder suede brush can flatten or damage the fine pile. This combi gives you both options.
Can I use it on suede as well as nubuck?
Absolutely. It is safe on both — the crepe is especially kind to nubuck, and works beautifully on suede too.
