Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as dyeing leather with indigo goes. I love the color it produces, and I am not a huge fan of using oil based dyes. I'd like to dye leather with actual indigo. Has anyone had any experience with this?

ok. Last summer I did a bunch of fabric, and then threw some leather into the dye bath before it was completely exhausted. I did not do a vintage style indigo that has to verment for a while, I did the indigo kit from Dharma trading company. They are great to work with. I threw in a handbag, an old belt, and some lacing. The lacing came out really dark, the rest was a true cobalt blue.

I can't take a photo of any of it, because my daughters stole it all.
