Thanks to its popularity, the new "VANTA BLACK" color of shoe care cream "THE CREAM" has received great support from stoic black shoe enthusiasts as "blacker than black." It is a color chosen by those who want to make their black shoes an even deeper black.

This time, we'll introduce a secret technique using "VANTA BLACK": "darkening shoe polish." This is a must-read for anyone who wants to transform their own shoes with their own hands.

"VANTA BLACK" contains twice the amount of dye as regular creams. This polishing is possible precisely because of this formulation. The model used this time is originally a pair of medium-brown shoes. We will transform this pair into espresso brown with "VANTA BLACK."

【Step 1: First, remove all dirt thoroughly】

The first step is to remove dirt. Use a strong cleaner and wipe thoroughly. It is important to thoroughly remove old oils and dirt so that the dye can penetrate the leather evenly. Doing this carefully will greatly improve the beauty of the finish.

【Step 2: Apply a generous amount of cream】

Apply a generous amount of "VANTA BLACK" cream. The amount of cream absorbed by the leather determines the depth of the finish. After applying it overall, leave it for about 10 minutes. During this time, the dye will penetrate into the leather. Waiting patiently also leads to a beautiful finish.

【Step 3: Brushing and buffing dry】

After brushing with a pig hair brush to blend the cream, buff thoroughly with a dry cloth to complete.

The finish is as shown in the photo. "VANTA BLACK" is a cream that uses only dye to color, without containing pigments. While creams with pigments change the color by covering the surface of the leather, dyes penetrate the leather to color it. Therefore, you can darken the color while preserving the original character of the leather.

Medium-brown before polishing and espresso brown after polishing. The difference is clearly visible in the photo. The same pair can change its impression this much, which is the fun of darkening polishing.

*Depending on the type and condition of the leather, the same effect may not be obtained. Please test it on an inconspicuous area before use.

This is a method you should definitely try if you feel that your shoes "could be a little darker." If you are interested in color-changing polishing, please feel free to consult us in-store. Also, "VANTA BLACK" can be purchased at the Brift H official online store.
