I finished the project I did with my G21 Day bag, it was an amazing and exciting experienced seeing the transformation that happened. I did not video my project but the end result is amazing. I followed every single pointers in your list and I used the Fiebing's Balm to seal the dye. No dye transfer at all, I also put my apple leather conditioner to finish it all. The leather remains soft and supple! Thanks!

I cannot get over this video! I can't believe how well the dye process turned out. Your bag looks brand new! Wow - thanks so much for sharing!

Your video tutorials are so very helpful. I've wanted to dye a leather bag of mine for some time now and am still somewhat hesitant to try this however, you have explained the process/steps so clearly that I'm thinking I may just take the plunge. tfs!

Did this recently with a marc Jacobs bag and so far I like the results

Your bag came out amazing. I brought my Miu Miu vintage bag to the leather shop for dieying and refinishing, and I hope it turns out as good as yours. I didn’t realize it could be done at home. Great job

THIS IS A LIFESAVER!!! I bought a Givenchy Nightengale sight unseen and when it arrived it was a destroyed by water damage. This process left me with a brand new (looking) Givenchy, I could'nt be happier!!!!

Amanda Richard Beautiful! I found this video as I am looking to dye a Fendi bag black. How has the dye been holding up? Do you experience any color transfer from the dye? You have done and amazing job.

Nice job when I’m dying bags I always use a lot news paper and cardboards for the base of the bag it just helps he structure so applying is easy

I did a leather jacket like this and it turned out great. Thank you so much for the great tutorial.

this is a fantastic tutorial. Thanks for posting. I've always been annoyed with the coppery color that you get from the fiebeng's. This seams like a perfect process with the Terrago. I'm gonna try this on a white jacket I have on the way.

@antoine gabrielle - i used the small brush near the fabric/zippers but since the fabric on my bag was black, i didn't have to be too careful. for any other colour fabric, i would have bought a smaller stiffer brush to tackle those areas.

Hi, I followed your tutorial and my bag turned out great! Thank you!

Thanks! Just dyed my red and pink leather fossil bag to medium brown with these exact instructions! Was nervous after the Fiebings (looked a little burgundy and mottled) but the Torrago coat smoothed everything out!Thanks again!! Now hoping the dye doesn't come off on me or my clothes!

What a nice tutorial! Thank you for putting it up. I am going to dye one of my older leather bags now. As far as the dye transferring on to your hands, there is a spritz on leather finish that I have used on my riding boots and leather saddles that gives a smooth feel and stops the conditioners and dyes from bleeding through. It might work on the handles for you. It is from a company called Leather Therapy. I've used their products for several years and have had good luck with them.

@AuthenblissityMain

8 жыл бұрын

+freedommascot thanks so much! the first dye is a penetrating dye, which sinks into the leather; however, it is not jet black but rather leaves a bit of a brownish/metallic hue to the bag. the 2nd dye is a self-shine dye, which sits on top of the leather. if you use this one by itself, i read that it could potentially flake off as it is not absorbed by the leather; however, it is jet black.

I wish I had seen this video before attempting to dye my old Ferragamo bag black a couple years ago. No matter how many Fiebings coat I would layer on, it would still have an unflattering brownish hue and was never a true black. After awhile I decided i disliked the color, completely regretted ever trying to dye it in the first place as I preferred the old color over the new and so I tossed it. :( I am however consider dying my beloved taupe Proenza Schouler PS11 to black (more versatile) and I'm going to use the steps provided in this video. Hopefully it'll bring it back to life and make it look new like it did with your Balenciaga. Thanks for posting this! :)

Now we need a video of you dyeing those gloves 😁 lol, j/k. Great video. I just purchased a really nice leather handbag that somebody marked down super cheap because it is faded. I also have a white leather Michael Kors bag that is not white anymore and I've tried with no luck 2 refurbish it. I know there is a way to fix it I'm sure, but I just want to dye it black because I'm not a big fan of white bags only for the fact that they get dirty quick. They're pretty but not my thing. I'm excited for my bag to arrive and I will order this dye. I'm sure it will turn out as good as yours but if not I have nothing to lose since I don't use the white leather one that I was given by a friend a few years ago.

Very, very thorough and helpful video. I am going to try this process on my expensive Tumi leather bag. Overall, its in good shape except for the edges where it came into contact with the airplane seats as I placed it under the seat in front of me.

+bagobeans not sure why i can't reply directly to your comment but thank you for your comments. i don't think you've previously asked me about dye transfer. if you had, i would have answered you as i have a few other people in the YT comments. anyway, if you had read the rest of the comments, you would have seen that after i got a chance to use my bag, i did reply to a few people re. the dye on the handles transferring to my hands when my hands were freshly lotioned. there has still been no colour transfer from the shoulder strap or onto my clothing - and i think the white dustbag would be a relatively good indication of potential colour transfer onto clothing items (especially seeing as how i had not used the bag enough to provide any other information at that point in time when the question was asked of me).

The bag itself has held up really well! I don't use it that often but there's been no colour transfer or fading. I do use the strap (on other bags) regularly and there's been some fading there. You can see a bit of the green at the stitching but I haven't noticed any colour transfer onto clothing or anything like that. I hope this helps!

Does it change the feel of the leather after dying it? For a buttery soft leather, i wonder if the dye would make it less soft. Would anyone know by any chance? thank you!

Great tutorial and I'm glad the dye didn't transfer with your bag but I had a different experience and I just want to warn people to be careful. I followed these directions to dye a light blue Marc Jacobs Hillier bag black and the dye has been rubbing off on my clothes (after drying for 2 days and rubbing with paper towel to get excess dye off). I hope it won't rub off as much with each wear but I would not wear white or light color clothes with it. The dye also turned the silver toned metal a bronze color that won't come off with alcohol. I had to scrub it for hours with acetone to get the color out of the metal. I would recommend to avoid painting over the hardware! Other than the dye transfer, the bag looks really good. The dyes really penetrated the leather. Thanks for the tutorial.

thank you! :) my bag hadn't really gotten to the super smooshy stage yet but i found the texture didn't change much after dyeing it. i think the key is to do very thin layers of dye. only issue i've had with my bag is that the colour on the handles will sometimes transfer to my hands, especially if my hands are freshly lotioned.

Thanks for your video. How did you dye the fabric in the zipper?

Great tutorial! Wondering if anyone has found the dye to rub off on clothing and skin over time? (Specifically the strap.) I was warned about this, but not sure if it’s something to be concerned about or not?

Would it bleed in the rain?

I know this is 4 years later but I'm sharing my thoughts in case somebody sees your comment and has the same question. I'm sure it would work if they are genuine leather of course. Leather is leather whether it's a purse, jacket, boots,... I haven't done my research since this is the first video I have found on the subject but I'm sure there is a way to transform it into a shiny finish. Sort of like painting your nails with the matte top coat and a few days later instead of removing the nail polish completely, just go over the Polish with a shine top coat. If that makes sense... And if not there are many products out there that you could layer on top of this matte color to transform from a matte finish to a shiny finish. Now you have me curious and I will look it up sometime today.

Excellent job! I wish you could do mine, I don't have the patience to do it. Do you know if there is a spray to do it faster instead of rubbing?
