Angelus Brand makes professional grade leather dye that won't peel or crack. We specialize in color dyes that produce rich, deep colors. Our classic Green Leather Dye is ideal for custom sneakers, leather work, and shoe restoration projects. 


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.

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.

Works well on pine!

Very easy to use, brilliant colors! I had a small pine wood side table and heard that dye was much more effective than regular wood stain. Angelus has so many fun colors to use so I figured why stick with brown? The table came out great!

Hi Will, we're so glad to hear you loved the results! This is such a beautiful look. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent Customer Service!

I previously left a 2-star review for the color Jade, because it came out blue on the white material I tested it on. Fortunately, customer service reached out after my review, and they worked with me to help me understand that the dye interacts differently with the leather. In the end, the Jade color was perfect for my project, and I'm grateful that customer service worked with me until I understood how the dye works, and my problem was solved.

Guitar Finish

Angelus dyes have been a great solution for colorful finishes on my custom guitars. They are very easy to apply and can be top coated with many different types of finishes. I love the way the wood grain shows through the finish. Thank you for a great product.

Perfect!

I bought a small amount of dye to work on a foot stool - structurally sound but long abused leather. The Angelus Green Leather Dye was the exact color and it really worked wonders! The person who had planned to discard the chair and stool actually thought we'd somehow found a brand new stool to match. In fact, it came out so lovely that I'm going order more and do the whole chair that it matches now!

Literally the best thing I have ever found for staining a guitar body

I use Angelus dyes to stain guitar bodies that I then donate for sale to help raise money for the nonprofit that I volunteer with. I ordered the green dye with the intention of producing another guitar body for sale but it came out so gorgeous that I am keeping it for myself! Simply put, these dyes are the best product for this out there. The dyes are affordable, the application process is extremely simple, and the results are predictable. Basically, they offer everything I want and need for this sort of work.

Excellent Quality

Purchased a couple of colors to use for a guitar burst finish. Also used on a couple of leather projects. Very nice. High-quality product. Great finish on leather and wood. Wish I knew about this brand prior to going through lots of the typical leather goods supplier store finishes, which are not bad, however, this product is far superior.
