Achieve a professional finish with this leather pigment dye that doubles as an eco-friendly leather dye, ideal for all leather & shoe dye 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.

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.

User-Friendly!

I've never worked with leather shoes before & this dye was still very easy to use! My only note would be to be sure to read all instructions beforehand, and also tape off any areas you don't want dyed/stained! I've already been a repeat customer & look forward to trying even more products!

This was my first time using this brand of dye. I needed something very low odor and with as little rub off as possible, and I think it really works well. There was no smell at all, and the dye went on quite smoothly, with a brush for borders, and a dauber for broad areas. I am truly impressed and I plan to get some other colors!
I didnt use this particular color on my project but put it through its paces to test it.

Did exactly what I wanted it to- refreshed my favorite pair of boots. Used it after the deglazer and it went on nicely. Boots look as close to new as they can!
