About Fabrics

about touch ups         about coloriffics

All shoes sold through Dyeable Shoes and Handbags are categorized as either "Dyeable" or "Colors" or "Black/Metallic" to make it easier to find what you're looking for.  

Both Touch Ups and Coloriffics offer dyeable shoes and handbags in three distinct fabrics -- crepe luxe, satin, and silk satin.

Crepe luxe is a popular choice of dyeable fabric because of its versatility.  It complements most fashions today with its low sheen and rich appearance when dyed in both light and dark colors.

Satin is a high gloss fabric that works best with dresses made of velvet, satin, and most other high sheen materials.  When dyed in rich colors and tones such as navy, brown, black, burgundy and dark green, satin is the perfect choice to complement that special outfit.

The Liz René Couture Collection by Touch Ups offers dyeable shoes are of the finest quality silk satin.  Somewhat off-white in appearance with a softer sheen than satin, silk satin shoes will perfectly complement all dresses and formal attire made of natural silk or similar fabrics.  Coloriffics offers a variety of dyeable silk satin shoes as well throughout its catalog.

Non-dyeable shoes can be found in in both the Coloriffics and Touch Ups catalogs including a vast array of trendy shoe styles in black, silver, gold and bronze, as well as in vinyl, many with beads, rhinestones, platforms, and clear lucite heels.  Matching handbags are also available.  Coloriffics new 2007 Sizzle Collection offers rhinestone sandals in silver, gold, and bronze that are sure to dazzle you.

Gold, silver and bronze shoes and handbags are considered to be metallic simply by virtue of the fact that they are gold, silver or bronze in color.  Metallic does not imply that they have a shiny rather than a matte finish, nor does it in any way describe the material or fabric of the shoe or handbag.  Please allow for the fact that the reproduction of photos will sometimes inaccurately display the color and/or finish of certain items as well as the fact that color and/or finish may not be displayed on all computer screens in the same manner.
