TOKO dye is a high-concentration, water-based leather dye made in Japan that delivers vivid, rich color with exceptional dyeability and deep penetration. This is a water-based dye with the same strong performance as alcohol-based dyes. This versatile dye works beautifully on the grain side, flesh side, and even leather edges.
With three to four times the concentration of standard water-based dyes, TOKO dye provides deep, even color in just one coat, no need for multiple layers. If a lighter shade is desired, it can be easily diluted with water.
Another key to its smooth, even coloring is its fast absorption. The carefully balanced formula of high-quality organic acid and solvent prevents repelling and allows the dye to soak in quickly and uniformly.
Thanks to premium water-soluble colorants, this dye also offers excellent fade resistance, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting, professional results.
TOKO dye is available in 19 colors, each perfectly matched to our 19 colors of MBT waxed thread.
Among these 19 colors, three shades of black are available:
Black – A balanced tone between bluish black and reddish black.
Midnight Green – A bluish black shade.
Onyx – A reddish black shade.
Matching Thread: MBT Waxed Thread - Midnight Green
Tips: Lightly spraying or dampening the leather surface before dyeing helps achieve more even, consistent coloring.
Patch Test: Bleed behavior varies by leather and application. Test on scrap leather first and let the dye dry fully before finishing.
Finishing: For added protection and less surface transfer, use TOKO Water-Based Top Coat Leather Finish – Gloss or TOKO Water-Based Top Coat Leather Finish – Matte. For edges, use TOKO Burnishing Gum – Clear.
Note: For leather crafting only. Shake well before use. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. Keep away from children. Store in a cool, dark place. As a water-based product, it may freeze and become unusable in freezing temperatures. Please be aware of this risk when ordering during cold weather.
