Shoe Colour Change
The ultimate update for your favourite shoes!
Perfect for patent shoes that have discoloured, light coloured shoes that have seen better days or if you want to match them to your favourite outfit, we’ve got you!
We recommend sending in your shoes ahead of any cobbler services so we can successfully change the colour edge to edge.
Simply add this to your cart and tell us more about your item ie. Brand, style, size, condition and colour and then what colour you wish to change it to. Once your order is received we will get back to you with a consultation form. This will include an image request of your item and details on how to send it in.
FAQ’s
What colour can I change my item to?
We custom mix all of our colours in house, so can pretty much match to any colour you like, There are limitations in some respects to ensure your item has a professional finish:
Leather/Vegan Leather
We recommend avoiding changing leather to a lighter colour than the original ie. Black to White. This is due to the number of coats required to cover over a darker colour would result in a loss of the original look and feel of the leather. We like to limit the coats to 3 to maintain the original texture.
Patent
Patent leather has to be dyed to a darker colour. If your shoes have dark stains on the surface these cannot be covered over and the darker the dye applied the more likely these stains will disappear. Think of it much like hair dye - you can’t dye hair lighter you bleach it, so therefor we have to stick to more darker and earthy tones such as dark red, black, brown, grey, dark purple, dark blue.
Suede
Much like patent leather suede also needs to be dyed, meaning any imperfections that the suede has will likely show through the dye, so the darker the better for a more even finish.
How long will the colour last?
Much like any leather shoes, wear and tear is expected, so if you do scuff or scratch your leather shoes the original colour will be revealed underneath. We recommend adding a ColourPen to your order for on the go touch ups, or you may want to consider sending in your shoes for regular maintenance depending on the level usage.
With patent and suede, once the colour is changed that’s it, it is permanent. Suede may fade over time depending on usage and UV damage.
This service doesn’t make your shoes invincible and they should still be treated with care just like the original item.
How long will the service take?
Our Colour Change service can take between 2-3 weeks depending on complexity. We like to take time and care over each item that comes our way. If you have a specific date requirement please let us know and we will endeavour to meet this but cannot guarantee.
