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.
Why Choose Us
I ordered this light brown dye to dye a pair of desert suede & white leather boaters - I desperately wanted this pair of shoes, I hated those colors, but it was the only one they had in my size, was on sale, etc etc. I thought I would take my fate into my own hands and buy them in the ugly color and see if I could dye them. After a little research, I found Angelus' alcohol-based dyes were highly recommended. I was looking for a rich, warm, chocolatey brown, and I found the light brown to be perfect for that. I am glad I didn't order brown or dark brown - those might be a good choice if you are starting from a darker color leather, but if you're starting with white or beige, light brown is perfect for a chocolate color. For the suede part, I used the suede dye & dressing in the light brown shade as well. I had no issues with applying even though the leather was quite textured (pebbled), and I only did 2 thin coats to get the color I wanted. It had sort of a brick red, warm undertone. 10/10 would do it all again, and I am so pleased with how they came out!
In over 15 years of building and modding guitars as a hobby, I've used many different brands of dyes and stains. Angelus is 100% my go-to. So many colors and they're affordable.
When making leather holsters, I use this Light Brown on one piece and Jet Black on another. The contrast between the two pieces creates a beautiful holster. Actually my best seller. I find the colors are extremely consistent so I have little to no waste and I can always depend on my project looking awesome. Thank you Angelus for a great product
Trying to update a worn bag, but this has more of an orange tint than I want. Also, can’t find a good tutorial video for dying, most are for paints.
Hey Melanie,Too much dye will cause it to over saturate, use rubbing alcohol to remove the excess dye. Please feel free to email us at info@angelusdirect.com to help you with the correct dye for your project. Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Great like always!

Item was okay. I paid extra for priority shipping hoping it would get here within 3 days and it took more than 5 days. VERY disappointed.
Sorry to hear that. Please keep in mind that we do have a processing time that is needed to pack and process an order prior to shipping. The processing lead times are located at checkout. Typically 1-3 business days. Hope this helps!
I apply this light Brown dye with a cloth. The color is stunning. Any stitching I do, I use Ritza, Havana cigar. The combination is absolutely beautiful. The dye is Excellent and covers well. Easy to blend, when needed, but covers very well. Dip dying gives excellent results. This Light Brown by Angelus is the only light brown I will use. I also use many other Angelus dyes ( colors) and always get the results I’m looking for. Can’t go wrong with Angelus. Their service and shipping is also excellent. Thank you Angelus.
Angelus Dye is All I use on My Custom Holsters. You Can't beat the Quality, Color Choice and price..... It is the Best. AA+++
I purchased several colors on the advice of a friend to color a guitar body and I could not be happier with the results. Applies very nicely and is easy to work and blend into exactly what I was looking for. I'm already eyeballing additional colors/combinations to try.
Great, no difficulty
I use Angelus dyes when I have to stain-match antique furniture.It's the only dye that will stain the wood completely.
Best dye I bought. It was a Great purchase
Great, was restoring some old boots in my collection.
Quick, accurate shipment! Quality product. Will buy from them again!
After reading about all negatives written by skeptics I used your products with great success on a pair of vintage cowboy boots. Prior planning is the key.
I’m looking to dye a medium green leather chair to brown. I was wondering if the light brown will cover the old color? I’d rather not use the dark brown because after looking at the pictures it’s quite dark. Thank you!
Hey Lisa, Thank you for reaching out, to answer your question it will change the overall look of the chair. Dyes takes the color of what is under them, so for example if you dye something white with red it will turn pink, it mixes. I hope this helps. You are more than welcome to email us at info@angelusdirect.com to send you picture samples of our leather swatches we have available before purchase :D Thank you again for reaching out and hope to hear from you soon!
