“Chair looks like new.”

Your dye worked great. Enabled us to touch up a 50 year old wing chair whose finish was deteriorating. Had not been able to match the color locally.

“Perfect dyes for guitar staining.”

I purchased the brown, yellow, orange, and jet black dyes for a guitar project, and they did NOT disappoint. Having no prior staining experience made the project a bit daunting, but the colors were as advertised…

Angelus Brick Leather Dye is a leather dye in an earthy brick red-brown, for recoloring and restoring shoes, boots, bags, and other leather goods. It soaks into the leather instead of sitting on top like paint, and it won't peel or crack.

Choose a 3 oz. bottle, pint, or quart.

How to use it

  1. Clean the leather and remove the factory finish with Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer so the dye can soak in.
  2. Apply the dye evenly with a wool dauber.
  3. Let the leather dry completely, then add another coat if you want it deeper.
  4. Seal it with Angelus Acrylic Finisher for added protection.

Pro-grade dye, made easy for first-timers

  • It's the same professional-grade leather dye fashion, footwear, and entertainment companies use to make their pieces, at everyday prices.
  • Dye soaks right in for a rich, even color. Start with one coat and add more until it's as deep as you want.
  • Try it first on the Angelus Leather Test Swatch or a hidden spot to see the color on your leather.
  • Free step-by-step tutorials on our YouTube channel and FAQs walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart. Unused products can be returned within 30 days.

Common questions

Will Brick look the same on my leather?

The final shade depends on the leather underneath, so it can come out a little deeper or lighter than the bottle. Test a hidden spot first.

How do I make Brick lighter?

Mix in Angelus Neutral Leather Dye, which is clear and dilutes the color without changing the hue.

Leather dye or leather paint?

Dye soaks in and changes the color of the leather itself, while Angelus Paint sits on top and covers it, so paint is the better pick for going lighter.

Dyeing leather is different from painting—it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint. The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

DYEING SMOOTH LEATHER WITH ANGELUS LEATHER DYE

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag.

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. Wipe down with microfiber towel to remove all lint.

3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

4. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

5. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

6. Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.

7. (Optional) Wipe with a microfiber towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said microfiber and wipe down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discoloring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the color. 

8. If you wish to dye the item more of the color complete steps 5-7 again. 

9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article a black or brown we would suggest even buffing with a colored shoe polish or Lustre Cream. 

‎

DYEING SUEDE WITH ANGELUS SUEDE DYE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material. 

2. You cannot "SPOT TREAT" suede. Please make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.

3. If the suede feels hard in texture, there is too much product in the material. Use a suede brush to loosen the suede. You can also use a soft bristle brush and water to pull out the cleaner. Let it dry, then you can continue.

4. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

5. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

6. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

7. Leave to dry for a few hours.

8. Using our Suede Kit brush or a strong bristled brush, break up the suede to bring it back to its natural feel. Be careful to not let residual dye get on other parts while brushing excess off. This will help the suede feel original again as well as remove excess dye so not run in case it gets wet.

9. (Optional)We highly recommend spraying down with our Water Repellent or Mink Oil Aerosol. Dyeing leather is different from painting—it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint. The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

Good to know

Leather dye questions, answered

Quick answers from our counter staff.

Do I need to deglaze before dyeing?

Yes. The factory finish blocks dye from soaking in, so strip it first with Leather Preparer & Deglazer.

How is dye different from paint?

Dye soaks in; paint sits on top. Dye takes on the color underneath, so red dye on white leather turns pink. Our dyes are alcohol based and our paints are water based.

Can it make leather lighter?

Dye works best going darker. It's made to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Test a hidden spot first.

Can I mix leather dye colors?

Yes. Angelus leather dyes mix with each other. Mixing dye takes more testing than mixing paint, and don't mix leather and suede dyes together.

Leather dye or suede dye?

Leather dye for smooth leather, suede dye for suede. Leather dye is stronger and can make suede hard instead of soft.

Can it ship to California or outside the U.S.?

Regular leather dye ships within the U.S., except California. Low VOC Leather Dye ships everywhere, California included.

Old leather…

The color is not exactly the Ford red. I’ve got a few streaking issues that I read up on a little bit. I did submit an email regarding this, and I haven’t received reply yet. I would like input on blending 50-50 with denatured alcohol and the stain as a possible remedy. It’s an older car with old leather so I’m not expecting anything magical. Thanks

Nice colors!

The Angelus Leather Dye is a great price and nice quality. Only complaint is that it is hard to use one handed with the applicator because the bottle tends to tip over. So just be patient with this part of the process and you will have a beautifully dyed product in the end.
