Dying Leather Purse

RE: Dying Leather Purse Post By KNEIT1221 (Guest Post) (10/28/2007) If I sent you the purse could you dye it? Please let me know. Thank you, Kim RE: Dying Leather Purse Post by solus (12) | (10/27/2007) Contact My dh, who does leather work has dyed shoes and purses for me. Find proper leather dye and follow instructions. There is proper lacquer finish to use on top. Due to fumes work in ventilated area. Allow 24 hours for each application to dry and absorb properly. I have a pair of previously white leather clogs that he did and put in an aged look by dying a blood red under the wear creases and years later they look better than ever with no white ever showing through. Tandy is the number one source of leather work and their web site is informative. RE: Dying Leather Purse Post by Jims68ragtop (1) | (10/26/2007) Contact Go to www.Parasolinc.com . They have actual leather dye, not thinned down paint. It is guaranteed not to peel, flake or chip. RE: Dying Leather Purse Post By (Guest Post) (10/25/2007) I agree with previous boster, but I know that SOME dyes require heat to set them--usually boiling for a few minutes. I suspect baking the leather while wet wouldn't hurt too much but better to check b4 ruining!

Use several coats. and then seal with black wax polish. I don't know about the heat - sounds to me as if it would be bad for the leather??? Go to someplace that deal with leather crafts, like the Tandy's chain. They will have everything you need.
