I think it's ok. For traditional colours (blacks and browns), I would go with something else, but if you want a red, purple or something like that, I'm not sure if there is anything better.

It's not super colour-fast. It requires some serious buffing. And you'll get transfer if you get it wet and rub on it. I'm not sure what the best finish would be. Certainly an acrylic based one will work very well, but I am not sure if that will give you the look you want. I haven't tried bag kote on it yet, so I don't know.

The best and most reliable is Fiebing's leather dyes and stains.  They are spirit based and colorfast and will give years of beautiful appearance.  Water-based products just can't stand up to the rigors of daily use for fine leather goods.
