Angelus Suede Dyes

Angelus Suede Dyes offer vibrant, long-lasting pigmentation for a variety of suede materials. These dyes apply easily, allowing you to restore or completely customize suede items, like shoes, bags, jackets, and more.

Tip: Angelus Leather Dyes are super strong and full of color. They work great on leather because they soak in and last a long time. Angelus Suede Dyes are a bit different — they are specially formulated 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.

Available in 3 oz bottles and includes 1 wool dauber applicator. Choose from available colors.

How to dye suede using Angelus Suede Dyes:

1. Prep your project by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product, such as Angelus Easy Cleaner. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material, don't skip this step for best results. You cannot "spot treat" suede. Make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.
2. 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 continue.
3. Using a wool dauber (one is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber. If you are dyeing a large spot, use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section, a paint brush or less dye on the dauber may be required.
4. Apply the suede dye. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing – suede dye works by soaking in. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even.
5. Leave to dry for a few hours.
6. Using 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 to remove excess dye so not run, in case it gets wet.
7. Admire your custom-dyed project!
