Experience rich, vibrant color with Angelus Dark Brown Low VOC Leather Restoration Dye. Easily and permanently dye your shoes and furniture for long-lasting results. This low VOC eco-friendly dye ships worldwide, proving a simple, safe solution to get the perfect hue. Dare to be bold and transform your leather pieces with ease! It's the ultimate leather color restorer dye for bringing life back to your leather goods.

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.

Low VOC Dyes are based on our tried and true Leather Dye formula, but they are formulated to be non-flammable, making it so we can ship them worldwide.

  • Low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
  • Compliant with California's stringent chemical regulations
  • Non-flammable, enhancing user safety and making it easy to ship worldwide
  • Extended working time, allowing for greater flexibility and precision during use
  • Great absorption rate, ensuring a deep, even color and reduced waste

In short, they are the same great Leather Dyes that you are used to, but can ship anywhere, aren't flammable, and dry a bit slower due to the absence of alcohol. You won't be disappointed with them!

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.

To Dye or to Paint

I usually don't write reviews. However, I feel the need to on this product to educate others. I have done leathercraft work for years and have used a lot of the Angelus Products with great success. This product is no different.The most important thing to know is what you are working with. One of the reviews stated they were trying to dye a silver shoe. No leather comes naturally Silver. So what you have is a shoe with a factory finish that is most likely a urethane or some other coating on the top. Dye is usually solvent-based and will cause that coating to degrade. Not only will you not get the dye to penetrate properly you have a good chance of ruining your item.Some shoes like Jordans or certain sneakers are better off using the Angelus Acrylic Leather paints. Raw leather, dress shoes, and other genuine leather items are fine to use dye on.Regardless if you choose to paint or dye the most important step is to prep. Whatever item I'm going to work on I use Angelus Leather Prep and Deglazer. Once its dried you have a clean canvas to work with.I then liberally apply the dye using the supplied dauber and let it soak in and penetrate the dye. This new low voc dye has more workability than their other dyes so it allows you a little more time to get the color depth you are looking for.For this belt, I am working on I did two coats of Dark Brown and I let it set for a few hours to dry to see the final color. I was more than happy with the results.Looking forward to trying the other colors.
