There is no colour transfer. Afterward I used a conditioner from Fiebings and even with that dampening the dyed leather, no transfer :-) I have zero time at the moment for a YT tutorial but I'll find some time to post some instructions if anyone else wants to try it!

Would I use the Kiwi Leather dye to have that glossy look like the DE?

Yes but I'm not sure how it would wear long term. If you use the carnauba stuff from Fiebings over the Fiebings dye it will hold for a long time :) I'd recommend using Fiebings as a base then a final coat with kiwi for the high gloss.
