Pull Up leather is a type of leather that is colored with dyes that are sealed using natural oils and/or waxes instead of paints, pigments and top coats, which gives the leather a very soft feel. When this leather is stretched or pulled, the color migrates and becomes lighter in the pulled areas. It has a unique natural appearance which lightens in color when stretched to produce a unique worn-in effect with time. Due to this soft and scratch-sensitive finish, the leather quickly gets a beautiful vintage-patina.
