As a house painter for many years, I can tell you that you can't paint a sofa. Try a can of saddle soap then use a leather conditioner to keep it protected from the dirt.
You can`t wash leather, that may be why the color is fading, You also can`t paint leather. The color is done during the tanning process. Try throwing your leather shoes or jacket in the washing machine and see what happens. You should of thought of that before buying white furniture
A white leather sofa ha already been created by adding a 'paint' or pigment to the surface. It is definitely possible to recolour this and the pigments used these days are highly sophisticated. The leather itself needs to be in good condition to do this process. White leather needs cleaning on a regualr basis but also needs protecting to help inhibit dirt from destroying the finish on the leather, once this has been removed your leather will get dirtier quicker and be harder to keep clean so I suspect that this is what has been happening. As far as the recolouring goes I would not tackle the job as a DIY one as the process needs to be done extremely carefully with professional products in order for it to succeed. Most DIY products are not professional products and would not last. Hope this helps
