Characteristics of leather
When pressure is applied to leather, the oils and waxes inside move, creating different shades of color, but do not return to their original color when pressure is stopped. This is because wax requires a certain amount of heat to melt, so the change is caused by applying heat, such as rubbing it with your fingers. In other words, with use, the surface of the leather will continue to change, sometimes continuously and sometimes returning to its original state. In addition, Pueblo leather contains oil and wax, so it has the characteristics of disappearing scars. This means that with use, there will be multiple scars that will disappear, giving it a very rich texture.
