As Australia's premier stockist of Angelus products, we offer the full spectrum of Angelus leather dye colours, from classic jet black leather dye to rich browns and vibrant custom shades. Angelus has earned its reputation as the gold standard in leather dyeing, with professionals worldwide trusting its superior penetration and colour permanence.
Our Angelus collection includes:
- Standard leather dyes for smooth leather surfaces

- Angelus preparer and deglazer for best possible surface preparation
- Angelus finisher to seal and protect your dyed leather
- Complete leather dye kits with everything you need to get started
We offer both alcohol and water-based leather dyes within our selection. Neither of them is better than the other–they differ in what kind of finish they leave on a leather item and what the application process looks like.
Alcohol-based leather dye is the quickest method of dyeing leather, because the alcohol in the dye takes little time to evaporate, leaving the pigment on the leather. Alcohol-based dyes might have a smell, so it’s more convenient to use them in a well-ventilated area.
Water-based leather dyes dry for a longer period of time than alcohol-based ones. They do not have an odour, and they are better at maintaining the suppleness and flexibility of leather.

FAQs
What is the difference between Angelus Leather Dye and Angelus Leather Paint?The key distinction is that dyes penetrate the leather for a natural look that maintains texture, while paints sit on the surface for more opaque coverage.
How do I properly prepare leather before applying Angelus dye?Make sure to thoroughly clean your leather using Angelus preparer and deglaser to remove any existing finishes, oils, or contaminants that might prevent dye absorption.
What is the best way to apply leather dye for an even, streak-free finish?Work in thin, overlapping coats rather than flooding the surface, and use a wool dauber or sponge for large areas. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next, and make sure to build colour gradually for the most natural appearance.
Do I need to use a finisher or sealer after dyeing leather?Yes, applying a finisher or similar product protects your newly dyed leather from wear and moisture while maintaining flexibility.
Can Angelus leather dye be used to change a dark colour to a lighter one?Unfortunately, no, leather dyes can only darken or change the hue of existing colours. For dramatic colour changes from dark to light, leather paint may be more suitable.
Is Angelus Suede Dye different from the standard leather dye?Yes, suede dyes are specially formulated to maintain the soft, napped texture of suede and nubuck leathers while providing even colour coverage without stiffening the material.
