leather repair

Fixing worn hides

Leather repair is the process of restoring damaged leather goods—fixing tears, cracks, scuffs, or worn areas in jackets, furniture, shoes, or car interiors.

The term covers both professional services and DIY kits for patching and reconditioning: The couch needs leather repair where the cat scratched it.
