Rio waxy pull up smooth sides are a natural, rustic leather which shows the growth lines and organic characteristics of the animal skin. Some of the skins include brand marks, this is normal.
The smooth surface of the leather has been oiled to create a lovely waxy drag feel. When stretched or pulled, the pull-up effect causes the leather to lighten in colour creating a distressed or antique finish, enabling the creation of authentic, rustic looking leather goods.
