LEATHER

	Embossed The application of color either by spraying, hand rubbing or immersion. Embossing a process in which design is added to leather by pressure to alter or correct the surface, resulting in uniform imitation grain. Splits underlying layers of leather, usually used for suede.
	Oil Pull Up The distinctive pore and wrinkle pattern of a hide; may be either natural or embossed. Graining, like human fingerprints, is unique to each individual hide, and is the hallmark of quality full-grain leather hides.
	Savauge Stretch marks appear in cowhide for the same reasons they do in humans. The process of calving requires the stretching of the skin to accommodate the new calf. Nothing could be more natural.
	Suede No two hides are alike and due to the varying grain structure mentioned below, the dyes and finishes penetrate to differing degrees in different parts of the hide to give an attractive variation. While every attempt is made to achieve uniformity this is not always possible.
	Wax Pull Up Lovers of truly natural products are particularly fond of these leathers: their buttery, glove-soft texture add an extra dimension of comfort to your sofa or chair. To create this luxurious softness and their rich gem like colors, aniline dyed leathers are tumbled for up to 12 hours in drums containing transparent dyes. These dyes enhance the subtle textural and color variations of each hide. Through the years, aniline dyed leather develops a distinctive patina which add to its value as a focal point in your home.
