I have an expensive high end sofa. The piping around the cushions are beginning to show a little wear. The sofa is medium brown color/ top grain leather. How can I 'stain' the piping to restore the color to the rest of the sofa? The piping of the leather is still in excellent condition, but the color has worn off.
This is best left to a qualified leather technician as he will have the right products and finsihes to do a good job (especially on an enxpensive sofa). Piping is always a high wear area and liable to this sort of damage. Please do not try DIY products off the internet as these generally will not work on this type of damage and could make things more costly in the long run. Hope this helps
annie is correct. But something you could try is a leather DYE. That's how the color is obtained originally. I have no idea where to buy it, but a local upholsterer, familiar with leather may know, or have a better, safer idea.
Go to an apolstry shop. In addition to doing restorations, they sell a variety of proven products that will do the job you describe.
