For porous leathers, deep stains are challenging to remove, and successful recovery is often limited. With colour restoration, the outcome largely depends on the leather ability to absorb the new pigments. Discolouration may see improvement with careful colour adjustment, through results can vary.
For non-porous leathers, colour restoration offers a better chance of recovery. However, stains caused by substances like body lotion or hair cream can be particularly stubborn. While we can restore colour, the durability and quality of the repair may be compromised over time due to the nature these greases.

With regular wear and tear, top grain leather can experience fading. The good news is that faded areas on top grain leather can often be readjusted to restore their original appearance.
For tears and repairs, especially on porous leather, repair may remain visible. In these cases, the priority should be should be on stabilising the damage while retaining the leather’s tactile quality.

Split and artificial leathers, particularly after about five years of use, are prone to peeling and cracking. Unfortunately, repairing these materials is often not a long-lasting solution, as the repairs may not hold up well and other areas of the leather may soon begin to peel or crack. In such cases, replacing the leather is usually a more cost-effective and practical option.
