Distress Leather

Distress or "vintage" upholstery leather is extremely popular and for good reason. Traditional distressed leathers (also known as pull-up leather) are made with aniline dyes, oils, and waxes. These leathers distress with regular use and create an amazing multitone patina that is rich, warm, and timeless (see our Restoration Distress Collection). Recently, leading tanneries using modern finishing techniques have created a class of distressed pigmented leathers that capture that classic vintage look but in a finish that is highly durable and will not change with use. Our extremely popular Dakota Collection is a stunning example of this new class of leather.

Collection Distress

  • Dakota

    Dakota is a soft and durable leather with a gorgeous distressed look! Dakota is finished with premium micro pigments making the leather highly scratch resistant! Also, due to its unique finishing process, the rich color and stunning distressed stay the same even with use! The result is a stunning, highly durable leather that is ideal for nearly any upholstery project. One of our favorites!

  • Restoration Distress

    For our Restoration Distress version, we took our stunning Restorations and milled them in a large wooden drum. The milling releases some of the oil and waxes in the leather creating burst of lighter tones across the hide. This "pull up" or distress effect is often associated with a classic vintage look but is also commonly used in modern pieces.
