FIEBING BAG KOTE

Fiebing’s Bag Kote Top Finish gives a soft satin finish to leather. Used as a finish over dyes. Popular with saddlers and bag makers. 

Fiebing Bag Kote is a professional-grade leather finish trusted by craftsmen, leatherworkers, and manufacturers for generations. This premium leather topcoat provides a soft, natural glow that enhances the richness and beauty of leather while protecting it from dirt, moisture, and wear. Whether you’re restoring vintage leather goods, finishing handcrafted items, or maintaining saddlery and tack, Fiebing Bag Kote delivers exceptional results every time.

Specially formulated to penetrate and seal the surface, Bag Kote leaves a smooth, mellow sheen that’s not too glossy — perfect for achieving that timeless, natural look. It’s ideal for use on saddles, bags, belts, boots, upholstery, and other leather goods. Made in the USA and known for its superior performance, this product is a staple in workshops around the world.

Bag Kote is water-based, easy to apply, and dries quickly. It can be applied with a sponge, soft cloth, or spray gun, depending on your preferred finish method. Once dry, the leather maintains its natural feel and flexibility, avoiding the stiff, plastic-like texture that some finishes leave behind.

This topcoat not only enhances appearance but also offers long-lasting protection. It helps resist scuffing and fading while maintaining breathability — ensuring your leather remains supple and rich in tone. Whether you are a professional leatherworker or a DIY enthusiast, Fiebing Bag Kote is a must-have product for achieving that professional-quality finish.

Available in multiple sizes, this finish provides excellent coverage and value, making it a cost-effective choice for both small projects and large-scale production. It’s compatible with most Fiebing leather dyes and finishes, allowing you to layer it seamlessly into your finishing process.
