1. Test the dye on an inconspicuous area, as the final colour will depend on the satin’s original shade.
2. Clean the satin carefully and remove all surface dust. If necessary, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and allow it to dry completely.
3. Stuff the shoes with tissue paper to help them retain their shape.
4. Protect the work surface and cover soles, linings, buckles, trims and any areas that should not be dyed with suitable masking tape.
5. Wear protective gloves and shake the bottle thoroughly.
6. Using a clean, soft application brush, begin with the seams and detailed areas.
7. Continue around the heel before applying the dye across the remaining satin.
8. Work in thin, even layers and avoid saturating the fabric.
9. Immediately apply a second light pass over the complete shoe, paying particular attention to any areas that appear uneven.
10. Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct sunlight and heat.
11. Once completely dry, apply an appropriate protector such as Saphir Invulner when additional protection is required.

The original colour of the satin will influence the finished result, so the shade shown on the bottle should be treated as a guide rather than an absolute guarantee. This dye is best used to refresh a similar colour or move from a lighter shade to a darker one; it will not reliably lighten dark satin.

Work on both shoes during the same session and use the same application method throughout the pair. Thin, controlled layers produce a cleaner result than one heavily saturated application.

If you mix colours, prepare enough dye to complete both shoes and record the proportions before beginning. Protect every area that should remain unchanged, as textile dye can be difficult to remove once absorbed.

For valuable bridal or evening footwear, always perform a discreet test beneath a strap or along an inside edge before treating the visible surface.
