Leather dyes are super strong and full of color. They work great on leather because they soak in and last a long time. Suede dyes are a bit different—they have less color in them and are made to keep suede soft. Suede is that soft, fuzzy leather, and it needs special care. If you put leather dye on suede, it can make the suede hard, not soft and fuzzy like it should be.
Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based.
Yes, all Angelus Dyes are mixable! Angelus Leather Dyes can be mixed with other Angelus Leather Dyes, and the same for Angelus Suede Dyes. Mixing dyes to acheive specific colors is harder than mixing paints and does require testing. (Do not mix Suede Dyes and Leather Dyes together.)
Keep in mind that this is considered a professional product. You may need to perform many tests before applying it to your final piece.

Black Suede Dye
Easy to use .Very pigmented . Love the sticker !!!
I was trying to create a Renaissance outfit for my local Ren Fair, and I needed some period appropriate footwear. I had a pair of boots that I have had for 40 years, and while I love my boots, they had seen better days. They were a very light tan suede, with some dark stains that I couldn't clean, and some shiny spots that I couldn't fluff up to match the rest of the suede. I purchased the Black Suede Dye, the Easy Cleaner, and the Water & Stain Repellent pump spray, and went to town on my boots. The cleaner helped with the stains and fluffed up the nap so much I almost wanted to leave them as they were. But I took the plunge and applied the dye. And wow, what a difference!! They look brand new! I can't believe it's the same pair of boots! And it was so easy to dye them. They are ankle boots, folded over at the top, and it did take a bottle per boot, which I was prepared for as they were so light in color, I knew it would take a good amount to fully dye them all black. And the water and stain repellent worked perfectly. The first day of the Fair it rained, and the repellent kept the water and mud from soaking into my "new" boots. And now I have cleaner and repellent to keep them looking new! Don't throw those old leather or suede shoes away without giving Angelus Direct a try. You could be saving your favorite footwear and keeping your wallet happy at the same time. Thank you, Angelus Direct, for your great products and giving new life to my favorite boots!
Die was great thank you will purchase some birdie in a few days
This paint is not black. Leaves brown/purple tint.When I started, shoe was all black with a grey strip. Then I painted the strip and the end result was black with a purple tint. After googling on the internet, there was a suggestion to dilute it to remove the tint. After painting whole side, now you can see the difference between true black (toecap) and brown tint of Angelus paint 👎👎👎
Hi there, sorry to hear that you had issues with the dye. They are heavily pigmented for very textured suedes. The tint that you see is an oversaturation of the dye. You can pull some out to see the true black by using some denatured alcohol. Please be sure to email us here at info@angelusdirect.com we have a very knowledgeable team that can assist M-F via chat.
They worked great!!!
The black Angelus suede dye is a deep, luxurious and rich black color, which covered a pink suede bag with the first coast. I’m, completely, impressed with this dye. My bag was beautiful before, but now, the black suede (with gold hardware) has given this bag, even more, of an elegant look.
Looks gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
I love the product super easy to use with that factory look.
First, I must say again I love Angelus products. Truly love. And I know how convenient and easy it would be to have a complete one stop shop for all paint and dye products here with Angelus. But truth is, you can’t. And I’m more loyal than most. But loyalty is a major reason we are being given an inferior product, judging by the responses from Angelus to any complaints submitted here in this forum. The actual truth is that both, BLACK SUEDE DYE & BLACK LEATHER DYE by Angelus, are simply not up to par. To be even more straight forward, both the leather and suede dye in the color black, suck ass. It’s not over saturation or the publics fault. It’s just not good. And again, this doesn’t mean I don’t love you. And this is not hate. This should be inspiration to engineer a vastly better product in the near to now future. Because if folks are telling you that they have items turn purple, that’s a problem. As for me, purple isn’t my experience. My experience is that these dyes, both blacks for leather and suede, when dried, have a strong brown tint. Like dark dark black coffee. We say black coffee, but truth is it’s dark dark brown. And the same goes for black dyes. So, for those who do not know, Fiebings, has the best Black Dye for both suede and leather in the country. Hands down. Lastly, besides the fact that Jacquard Neopaque paints are just as good, but take half as many coats. These being my only two issues out of the many products I use daily. And again, I love your colors. And love your colors far more than Jacquard. But Jacquards thickness/consistency, truly helps with my work load. So for me to attain the perfect paints, I mix your and Jacquards paints together. Giving me the perfect consistency for both my airbrush and paintbrushes.So to recap, and I apologize for the tangent, but this has been bothering me and in haven’t heard anyone actually address the issue head one, so pardon me. But to recap:Fiebings Suede and Leather Dyes are better in the color black. As your product for some turns purple. But my experience and many others I know in the field as well, are that your dyes turn brown when dry. So to u must steal they’re formula, the only viable solution. Because it hurts to tell others the truth and where to find actual Black Dye. Jacquard’s Neopaque (and only the Neopaque paints do I stand behind) they’re consistency is far greater than yours. And this cuts major time off of my work load. And they’re serving size of 2.25oz per is at the same price as your 1oz, which is better on my wallet. Solution here is to up the consistency, which helps my pockets and work load. And you would make up the difference in more 2-thin sold. So to end, these are my only issues. But I felt you needed to truly know, and know the truth from someone who cares and is loyal to your brand. Thank you for listening. And again I apologize if I offended. Not my intention. Deuces, Sam Mariano
I ordered black suede dye and received 2 leather dyes. Unaware, I use to product and destroyed my $200 pair of shoes. I reached out to angulus and received no response.

Black suedw dye worked perfectly
No more purple cast with this NEW formula. Very happy with the results!
The suede dye worked wonders on my shoe. I spilled a Clorox cleaner on my black suede shoe. Instead of taking it ton the shoe repair shop, I decided to do it myself. While I would have preferred the black dye be a bit darker. After several applications, I’m the only one that can tell a fix was needed.
The black dye turned purple in many places
Hi there, this product can do that for a few reasons, not enough material to saturate into (smoothed out suede) too much dye/pigment in the area. This can be taken care of by using some rubbing alcohol to rub out the oversaturation of the pigment. Once that is out, you can redye if needed. It sounds like the suede you are working on needs to be have the pigment diluted. When it comes to dyeing leather, there are a few things that we recommend. It is best to contact us prior since we do consider this a professional use product. Please let us know if that works for you!
Works soo well
It was amazing!!
