Kaps Super Color, Leather Dye for Natural Leather, Faux Leather and Fabric, Leather Dye 25 ml (114 - Light grey)

I bought this as wanted to rejuvenate my favourite pair of boots. I was a bit sceptical at 1st as never done anything like this before. I read through the instructions thoroughly and dived head 1st into painting the 1st one. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be enough dye to cover 2 big boots but my fears were unfounded. The 1st coat went on relatively easily and dried fairly quickly. I left it overnight before tackling the other one to make sure there were no issues. The following day I checked the boot and must admit, that they look brand new. The finish is shinier than the original boot, but I half expected that. I immediately started on the 2nd one and now have a matching pair of new boots. Overall I am very pleased with the result, and after the initial 48 curing time, I will try them out to see if the colour stays on and doesn't scuff off. So far I am extremely pleased, and will consider using these products again. Great for covering up old and tired shoes, plus it saves you loads of money.

So ... this is a difficult one to review as this was completely wrong product for what I wanted to achieve. My plan was to revive my Mulberry Handbag which was looking a bit worse for wear. I ordered this in cream believing it was a dye but no, this is a paint product. Needless to say, there was a lot of panicking and google searches on how to remove it as my beautifully supple leather bag now looked like some dodgy pleather bag from the 70s! With a lot of acetone and elbow grease I managed to remove it, albeit 6 hours later. The purpose of this review is to warn anyone else who is thinking of doing this on an expensive or treasured item that it is not a leather dye but a leather paint. I felt bad giving a low score as it’s not the suppliers fault, I’m sure the product is perfectly fine for other intended uses so have stayed neutral.

DO NOT BUY. If you really wanna use this "paint", try it on an item you don't really care about us. Thankfully I tried it on a leather item from a charity shop. The paint rubs off very easily even after letting dry for 48 hours (photo 1). I repainted and let dry and repainted and let dry and it just didn't stick. After reading the rest of the bad reviews I decided to try washing it with water and using a sponge, it came off so easily (photo 2). Just glad it came off and didn't ruin the item. Gonna try Angelus paint instead. Don't waste your money on this - you can get Angelus for cheaper on eBay.

I can't beleive my bag looks better than when it was brand new! I had a lot of water stains, scuffs and other unidentified marks on this bag, it was a warm tan colour before as you can see from the inside logo tab. Shame I forgot to take a before photo as this is a dramatic improvement. As you can imagine I'm delighted with the results, a quick wire wool buff to the metal elements and it was done. Super easy to use this dye, only needed one coat, and it doesn't stain your hands, washed right off. INCREDIBLE PRODUCT!!!

My partner was pressing me to throw away my most comfortable shoes because they were badly scuffed, particularly the heels from driving. I decided to try the dye. I needed a light brown/tan colour. I bought Russet at first. This was too red so I bought dark brown which was too dark. So I mixed the two bottles together and tried that. The scuffs had been really bad where in places all the original colour on the shoes had been scraped down to the bare leather. The mixed dye was such a close match so I tried that. To my surprise it covered the Russett and dark brown experimental patches and covered the scuffs perfectly. The dye seems to dry a bit darker than when first applied. The brushes clean easily in water so I assume the dye is water based. It would be helpful if the colour charts were laid out with similar colours close together. Also the size of the colour patches on the web site is a bit small for accurate colour matching. My shoes now look brand new. Overall I am very pleased.

I wanted to revive an old but well-loved pale-red leather handbag. It is just the right size - deceptively small-looking, with all the pockets and compartments I need. Sadly it had become faded and patchy so was no longer being used. I first ordered one bottle but when I saw the small size I ordered three more. I needn't have bothered! I only got round to this job yesterday and although I haven't yet applied the second coat, the coverage is brilliant and I doubt I'll need to break into the second bottle. The colour 112 is utterly gorgeous - a deep crimson, not at all plummy - and I'm fighting the temptation to dye all my shoes/handbags/dogs red! It's given my bag several more years of use.

Complete rubbish... Doesn't soak onto leather and is certainly not colour stable as it rubs off into anything it touches... You also get about half a bottle which is about enough to paint one shoe!!!!

I've given this 5 stars, because my 6 year old brown leather satchel bag is like new. Before treating it with this dye it was very scuffed and faded, it had daily use and was more often than not kicked around looking something like the bag Indiana Jones used. Now it's looking something like the bag Indiana Jones used. Now it's perfect perfect and with only one coat. I purchased the "Mahogany" colour. Brilliant!!!
