The navy blue Teinture Francaise shoe dye by Saphir (500ml) colours leather, suede and nubuck.

The navy blue Teinture Francaise shoe dye comes in a large bottle as an economical choice for colouring leather furniture, clothing or accessories. When mixed with the 500ml Saphir base blue dye and other dyes, a world of possibilities opens up for personalising your leather items. You can create your very own patina to imitate the effects of time on a leather colour. This is truly a flagship product that has been used and recommended by shoemakers for years.

For best results, always use the Teinture Francaise leather dye only on leather that has been cleaned or that has had its colour removed to prevent dust particles from getting trapped into the leather during the dyeing process. Use the dye in a well-ventilated area and cover your clothing as well as any valuable objects to prevent them from getting stained. You may wish to use this dye to occasionally touch up worn out areas where the leather has been scuffed or exposed. Treating small, specific spots will restore the original look of the leather. In contrast, the large quantity of this shoe dye provides you with the option of dyeing larger leather items such as couches, coats, jackets, bags or different pairs of shoes. Always begin by testing a bit of the dye on a hidden area to determine whether it will produce the colour you want when applied to the entire surface. This is a very important step since leather varies widely depending on its origin, tanning process and colour removal process. If the desired colour is obtained, apply an even first coat of the dye and allow it to dry for at least one hour to assess the true colour. For a deeper navy blue shade, do not hesitate to add additional coats of the dye, but be mindful of the one-hour drying time required after each coat. Once you are satisfied with the final results, you will need to complete the dyeing process by applying a shoe cream to soften and hydrate the leather. Use a blue-tinted shoe cream if you wish to play on the undertones. For hard leather items, complete your leather care with a shoe polish to waterproof the leather and give it a shine.

Store your Saphir Teinture Francaise navy blue shoe dye in a cool, dry and ventilated area and remember to tightly close the bottle cap to avoid wastage and maximise shelf life.
