When your suede kicks need a second life, pick up a bottle of Angelus Brand Suede Dye. This vibrant, industrial strength shoe care product is perfect for sneakers, boots, Wallabees. Feeling a little Ghostface inspired? Burgundy Suede Dye is your choice.

* Dye soaks into the suede rather than sitting on top. The final color depends on the base color of the suede leather it is applied to. Example: a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. 

Dyeing leather is different from painting as 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. \

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.

Not Burgundy!

This dye is not burgundy at all! Im a professional leather worker and I needed some burgundy dye for the suede lining of a backpack I'm making for a client. I applied the dye to white suede hoping that would get the best results. However, it turned the project PURPLE!!! This is false advertising

Came out purple instead of burgundy

Dyed Some Jordan 2's and it came out purple instead. Not sure if it was because the color was very light blue but it ruined the sneaker.

Burgundy Suede Dye

I dyed grey shoes and they became purple instead of burgundy.

Hello Robert,Sorry you were having issues with the Burgundy dye. Issues can be cause from over saturated the material with too much dye. After each coat, try wiping off the extra dye with a cloth and mix of water & alcohol. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

Used this to restore a pair of Bordeaux 3s. Went to heavy on a couple spots and one big spot on the toe box. Wondering the best way to remove the dye from these areas. I was just gonna use water but I know water and sued/nubuck don't mix.

Angelus Direct

You can try some denatured alcohol on a rag to see if it pulls out some product. That would be the only option in this case since alcohol dries rather fast.

Hi. I want a bit cheerier color than burgandy, more berry. Is there way to affect color, or other color you suggest on suede shoes? Thank you.

Angelus Direct

Hey there! I recommend mixing our Red Suede Dye with the Burgundy Suede Dye! That should get you a warmer color, consider purchasing the Neutral Suede Dye as well to thin out the color a bit to ensure you don't end up with too dark of a color mixing. Email us if you have any more questions! Info@angelusdirect.com Thank you

Why does the burgundy looks purple on the website ? My burgundy Van's are a totally different burgundy then shown on here

Angelus Direct

Hey there! Any chance you could send us a photo please? The dye is a tint so it piggyback's off of the original color of the shoe If you have any more questions please feel free to email us directly at info@angelusdirect.com Thank you
