Dye work, case by case

Records of work from our atelier. Each case sets out the condition on arrival, the target colour, the mixing and process, and the result and its limits — as far as the records go. Gloss-only and edge-paint work is included too, marked as work with no new colour.

Leather can only be dyed darker than its current colour.
