What kind of leather is the 'pull-up leather' mentioned in the bag description?
The detailed description notes that folded or scratched areas become lighter, raising curiosity about whether this is a normal characteristic of the leather.
It is natural cowhide processed with vegetable ingredients, where folded or scratched areas naturally reveal a lighter two-tone appearance.
It is first noticeable at the bending corners or folded seams of the bag. 100% Vegetable tanned pull-up cow leather is used in MARGESHERWOOD's SOFT BOSTON EW[1]. Generally, vegetable leather refers to a processing method where tanning is done with vegetable tannins to preserve the natural grain unique to raw hide.
Added to this, 'pull-up' refers to a technique in which oil or wax is thoroughly permeated into the inside of the leather during the processing stage. When the leather is pulled or folded, the oil residing inside shifts around under pressure, revealing a lighter two-tone appearance on the surface in those areas[2]. Light marks that occur when the surface is slightly scratched are also a phenomenon caused by oil temporarily shifting, rather than flaws[3].
The brand considers these tone variations to be an inherent, natural characteristic of pull-up leather rather than a defect[4]. If you gently rub the leather surface, the displaced oil spreads again, gradually subduing the lightened tone.
Recommended specialized leather creams or care methods for managing areas lightened by displaced oil have not yet been confirmed.
