French Dye 50ml Sapphire - PURPLE BASE 62

SAPHIR LEATHER DYE - PURPLE

Saphir's "Teinture Française" (French Dye) in purple is an extremely penetrating, alcohol-based dye. It is designed to dye a light color into 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 Teinture Française penetrates even surfaces with low absorbency, where other dyes 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 blend, be sure to prepare a sufficient quantity 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 an indication. The color obtained depends on the original shade and the nature of the leather.
A preliminary test on a discreet area of the leather is recommended in order to validate the shade.

Usage tips :
- For best results on smooth leathers, it is recommended to use Saphir leather stripper (ref. WA337) to open the pores of the leather.
- Protect your hands with gloves and then apply the Teinture Française with the applicator pad. We recommend applying 2 thin coats to obtain a uniform and homogeneous shade.
- Let dry for 2 hours between each coat.
- To guarantee 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 Surfine cream for shoes (ref. WA323) or Canadian cream for leather goods or jackets (ref. WA327).
For your worn smooth leathers, apply Saphir Juvacuir (ref. WA069).
For your very worn smooth leathers, apply the Renovating Cream (ref. WA305).
