Teinture Française shoe dye

Saphir Teinture Française liquid shoe dye to recolour your shoes.

Did you ever buy a pair of shoes of which in the end the colour wasn't to taste? Are single toned coloured shoes a tad boring to you? All reasons why you wouldn't wear a pair of perfectly good shoes and let them go to waste. You can actually recolour your shoes to your liking using Saphir Teinture Française liquid shoe dye. Create your very own one of a kind pair of shoes by adding your own unique twist of colour(s).

The dye comes with a cotton wick for application. The dye is best applied using an artist brush for an even distribution of the dye. Teinture Française is an alcohol based shoe dye which soaks into the leather immediately. Note that the lightening base isn't actually a colour on it's own but a supplement that can be mixed with other colours to make them lighter.
