Bring your suede sneakers, boots, and loafers back to life with Angelus Brand Suede Dye. This vibrant, industrial strength is the professional's choice. Pick up a bottle of our Chamois Suede Dye for a natural-hued colorway.

* 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.

Flawless results!

I'm so pleased with the coverage on my old suede Birkenstocks with the Chamois color dye. I used the Angelus cleaning solution first, and it brought so much life back to the old suede without any damage or discoloration. Applying the dye was easy and straightforward and the clean up was effortless. It washes right off your hands. I'm delighted with my new looking Birks. Chamois dye does have an ever so slightly pinkish hue to it depending on the light. I love it.

Close, but no Cigar

I tried to match your chamois color for dyeing a pair of old desert boots in their original sand or wheat color. Unfortunately, the color was way too light, and your beige [ordered previously to this] was rather pink-ish in color. I do like your dye intensity and quality, however. I wish you could offer more suede dye colors as you do with your leather dye selections. I found some of your leather color selections seeming closer to the color of the boots in question.

First time dyeing anything!

I picked this color because it does have a slight pink hue which was the same shade of the nubuck trim on a pair of NikeLab Nike Air Max Plus TNs I am rehabbing. Big learning curve on how much or little to apply. Once I learned how to blot out or to add a dab of water to thin problem areas, the project went smoothly.

Nice!! please share some photos next time! sounds like you were patient and took your time. That is exactly how to use the dyes.

Excellent Product!

I had a pair of new shoes with two bleach spots on them I was so upset & I did not want to throw them away. I purchased both the Beige and Chamois Suede Dye mixed them together to create the perfect color to match my shoes. I was able to repair them and they look perfect now. I am so happy with Angelus Suede Dye. Before I made my purchase I contacted customer service asking a few questions on what color to purchase by sending a photo to them. They responded to my questions very quickly suggestng the perfect colors for me. Thank you so much for your help!

Old Shoes renewed!

I have used black Angelus suede dye before and was amazed with the ease of application and absorption. Excellent product. The second time around I purchased the dye directly from Angelus. The Chamois color is lighter than expected, but worked well in renewing an old pair of kakki sandals. Chamois dye transformed the sandals into summery footwear.

Shearling Coat

I recently bought some sheepskins to make a shearling coat, one of the "Marlboro Man" variety. These coats cost many hundreds to buy, which I couldn't afford. I used Angelus sued dye to change the color of the skin side. It worked just fine. I used a Preval Spray System (from Home Depot) to atomize and spray the dye evenly. It worked very well. I would recommend Angelus products to anyone needing to dye leather or suede.
