SUEDE HANDBAG DYEING

A question we’re often asked by our clients is whether its possible to dye suede handbags to a new colour. This might be to change the appearance of the leather by changing the colour or restore a suede bag to its original colour.

 

Suede is different to smooth leathers in that there is a limited colour range to which the leather can be dyed. Colour options for suede handbag dyeing include brown, navy blues, dark greens and black.

But if you don’t mind basic colours then dyeing your suede handbag to a new colour is definitely a possibility. Options for dyeing suede handbags include DIY application, using a shoe repairer or professional leather service.

While DIY suede handbag dyeing is the cheapest option, you will often need to compromise on the finish of the leather. For expensive handbags we always recommend using a professional leather service for any suede dyeing.

When dyeing suede leathers there is always some risk the colour leeching post-dyeing so its always best consult with your leather professional prior to any work being undertaken.

Our workshop specialises in dyeing all types of suede handbags to new colours and can also revive the appearance of faded or worn suede handbags.
