I used Krylon metallic for my project once, looked quite good (but it was used for a woodwork).
From what I found, it could be used for a leather, yet I'm not sure.

Tandy's eco-flo waterstain is a pretty decent looking metalic-ish gold color.  I think it is designed to be an additive to other colors to give them gold fleck, but it has worked well as a stand-alone for me.

Now that I am home, here are a few things I've used the gold paint on.  Stuff is from a few years ago (2015) and they're all still holding up well.  Its not dye, but it works quite well.  The only think is you need a few coats to kill the transparency of it.

I've used Testors acrylic model paint for metallics. Just dont go too heavy.

Jacquard True Gold. The best for flexibility...that I've seen.
It's for airbrush but I've used brush for leather.
