Benefits

Deep Penetration and Long-Lasting Colour

Fiebing’s Institutional Dye penetrates deeply into the leather, colouring it from the inside out. This ensures long-term durability and rich, even pigmentation that doesn’t chip or fade with time. It’s ideal for leather goods that face frequent wear and exposure.

Professional-Level Finish

The dye provides smooth, uniform coverage with minimal streaking, leaving behind a natural sheen that complements the leather’s original grain. Perfect for creating high-end finishes that customers will immediately recognize as premium quality.

Large Volume for Cost Efficiency

The 32oz (900ml) size is excellent for workshops and professional environments, allowing you to complete multiple projects or large-scale production runs with a single bottle. It’s cost-effective without compromising quality.

Versatile Application

Fiebing Institutional Dye can be applied using a brush, sponge, wool dauber, or spray system, giving leatherworkers complete control over colour depth, layering, and blending. Whether you prefer light tones or rich saturation, this dye performs beautifully.

Quick Drying and Easy to Seal

The fast-drying formula saves time and allows you to move quickly to finishing stages such as buffing, sealing, or conditioning. Pairing it with Fiebing’s Leather Sheen, Resolene, or Acrylic Top Finish enhances the final result and locks in colour.

Durable and Flexible Finish

Unlike paints or surface coatings, Fiebing’s dye doesn’t stiffen or crack the leather. Once absorbed, it maintains the leather’s softness and flexibility while offering lasting resistance to wear and handling.

Trusted by Leather Professionals Worldwide

For over a century, Fiebing’s dyes have been used by saddle makers, leathercrafters, shoe manufacturers, and upholsterers globally. The Institutional Dye is part of that legacy — offering commercial-grade reliability trusted by professionals everywhere, including New Zealand.
