One of the benefits of owning leather is, damage can easily be fixed and made to look virtually invisible.

More ...Can Worn, Faded And Discolour Leather Be Restored?
Many people think that when their leather starts looking worn and tired, it's past its used-by-date.

There's no need to replace it or have it recovered.
