Pull-up effect
The leather is saturated with oil and wax. Under pressure the colour briefly lifts and leaves a lasting difference. Every spot where you regularly sit builds its own tale.

Rancho
leather.
Rancho is our most outspoken leather. Oil pull-up leather worked with a dramatic colour shift, where pressure, rubbing, and sitting literally leave traces. The hide lightens where it folds, deepens where it lies relaxed. Not everyone wants that. Those who want it usually know instantly.
On Rancho, scratches are not defects. They are the point. In the first weeks you have a sofa with a slightly uneven character, at six months a sofa with a story, after three years a sofa that feels like an old pair of boots you never want to part with. For anyone who loves vintage, that ranch-style feeling, the charm of furniture that does not look new.
№ 01 · Character
Rancho, character over perfection
b
Dramatic patina
Where Africa patinates calmly over 6 to 12 months, Rancho shows change within a month. In three years your sofa has its own landscape, with lighter and darker areas nobody else has.
c
Deliberately irregular
Hide scars, small insect pricks, colour variations. On Rancho they are kept on purpose. This is not leather that wants to look perfect. This is leather that wants to live.

№ 03 · Care
Care for Rancho leather
Rancho asks more attention than our other leathers, but with a different purpose: you feed the character, you do not remove traces.
Weekly
Dry dusting. Scratches and spots stay, that is the point.
Every 3 months
Work in pull-up leather oil. It freshens the colour and replenishes the oil reservoir.
Scratches
Rub gently with a dry cloth or the back of your hand. They usually sink back into the surface.
Stains
Lightly damp cloth. Larger marks become part of the pattern.
№ 04 · Who it suits
Who Rancho suits
+ Good fit
Vintage lovers, industrial lofts, people with saloon- or retro-interiors, households where scratches are not a problem but a bonus.
! Less suited
If you want a sofa that always looks new, skip Rancho. This leather shifts from the first day you sit on it. Pick Granada or Foggia instead.

Sofas in Rancho leather
Character you do not design
Rancho writes your sofa for you.
Rancho is not for everyone. But holding the leather for a couple of minutes in the showroom tells you fast whether it fits your home and your life. We give honest advice: Rancho is for the devotee, not for everyone.
