Distressed Leather
What Is Distressed Leather?
Distressed Leather is a high-end upholstery material known for its rustic charm and distinctive character. Crafted from premium aniline-dyed hides, this leather undergoes specialized treatments to develop a unique, weathered look. Available in both thin and thick leather options, distressed leather is perfect for a range of applications, including furniture and home décor. The natural dyeing process enhances the leather’s texture, while techniques like waxing and tumbling further emphasize its rugged aesthetic. Over time, distressed leather ages beautifully, developing a rich patina that adds to its appeal.
