Tarrago Leather Dye Kit with Deglazer and Applicator - Restore & Recolor Shoes, Boots, Purses, Wallets, Jackets, and Furniture - Rich Pigment - 25mL - Black #18

I used this on an old pair of Ferragamo drivers and it worked perfectly. I’ve worn them for a day and there hasn’t been any flaking or dulling of the shoes. Beats paying $750 for a new pair.

I wish I had taken a before picture, the white/black sandal is similar to what my sandals looked like before dying. It took two coats and they look amazing! Now to touch up the buckles with enamel.Only negative comments are that the brush tip was all smashed down and the sponge was small and fell part (sponge separated from a firmer piece that I think was meant as a handle).

The dye worked well and my canvas shoes look new. The color is vibrant and as advertised.

I have a red leather bag for at least thirty years and never use it because of the color. I love the style and size of it, but just not the color. I was on the verge of getting rid of it when I decided to research how to dye leather, so I purchased this dye set (black #18) and I have a bag I am absolutely in love with now! SO glad I purchased this dye. It is totally easy to apply and dries super quick with very little odor. The shipment was also really quick and the package arrived in perfect condition even though it was only wrapped in a bubblewrap manilla envelope. Would totally purchase again!(I would have posted photos except I forgot to take 'before' photos so I don't know how much that would help anyone in their decision making process to purchase the product if they only saw 'after' photos.)

Permanent color. Not suitable for old GLAZED leather. I used it on an old rifle sling that had old glaze and worn areas that were dried out.It covered it, however, because of the age and condition of the leather, it wants to flake off.Works perfectly on shoes and belts.

Wouldnt recommend

The purse looks brand new. I did follow instructions from YouTube video. I took two coats of the Tarrago and one coat of another product (Flebings) which gave it a shiny finish. The coats had to dry between with heavy books inside to stretch out the leather so that each subsequent coat would fill the "cracks." After the last coat I let it dry for two full days so that the dye would not rub off. I have been using it for several weeks and the dye has held up well. So glad I could save this wonderful purse!

As a person with EE width feet, I have had trouble finding shoes to match things. If I find the one that fits, it doesn't come in the color... if I find the color, the widest it comes in is C or D. I ran into this trying to find gold shoes to match an outfit when I needed both wide heeled ones (for walking outside on grass) and some that I could suede for dancing indoors... with the same heel height since the dress was floor length.Well, this dye in bright gold worked incredibly well. I got platinum shoes for lawn, and dyed a pair of dance shoes I already had, which were tan. Both pairs came out the same color. Both were lovely.Here's a hint. They really do mean it when they say "light coats". Note that the dye might not look like anything when you put the first coat on. Really wait ... and use three or four light coats. Do not try to get the color visible on the first coat necessarily. The first coat provides a base that the second sticks to, and the color builds up. I initially did one section too thickly and it took a couple more coats to even it out... by the second shoe I knew to do lightly and wait and do more coats, and it evened out much more easily.So, now I'm looking forward to buying the discounted wide size shoes when they come to Building 19, even if they are in a funny shade of pink that I'll never wear... and buying the color I want and ... voila! I have designer shoes in my favorite color for $19.99 plus the cost of the dye... when they cost 70-100 in the catalog.
