French Dye 50ml Sapphire - BASE BORDEAUX 08

SAPHIR LEATHER DYE - BURGUNDY

Saphir’s French Leather Dye (Teinture Française) in burgundy is an extremely penetrating, alcohol-based dye. It is designed to change a light color to a darker one.

It can be used on smooth leathers as well as suede, nubuck, or velvet leathers. Specially formulated for leathers with minimal porosity, the French Leather Dye penetrates even surfaces with low absorbency, where other dyes would remain on the surface. It is the gold-standard dye for cobblers.

All colors in the range are miscible with each other, allowing you to create your own shades. If you are creating a mixture, be sure to prepare enough for the entire surface to be dyed.
To lighten a shade, you can use the lightening base (ref. WA326_00).
The color chart is provided as a guide only. The resulting color depends on the original shade and the nature of the leather.
A preliminary test on an inconspicuous area of the leather is recommended to verify the shade.

Instructions for use :
- For best results on smooth leathers, it is advisable to use Saphir Leather Stripper (ref. WA337) to open the leather pores.
- Protect your hands with gloves, then apply the French Leather Dye with the applicator pad. We recommend applying 2 thin coats to obtain an even and uniform shade.
- Allow to dry for 2 hours between each coat.
- To ensure optimal results after applying the dye, it is recommended to use a specific finishing product:
For your suede and nubuck leathers, use Saphir Renovétine spray (ref. WA325).
For your smooth leathers in good condition, apply a Surfine shoe cream (ref. WA323) or a Canadian cream for leather goods or jackets (ref. WA327).
For your worn smooth leathers, apply Saphir Juvacuir (ref. WA069).
For your heavily worn smooth leathers, apply Renovating Cream (ref. WA305).
