I have this leather couch which is like 10 years old. It as some scuffed or scratched areas as you can see in the example. It's a three piece set so the marks vary but are generally similar. There is no peeling or flaking as you'd see on bonded leather.

Majority of the wear is on the welts but is hard to see in the picture.

Is it okay to just use regular color matched leather dye? Seems like all of the leather repair kits are PVC shot for bonded leather repair.

Thanks!

Marks like that are often desired. Its called a patina. However in cheap/china bob's discount furniture is an indication to trash and buy again.

I have a $2.5k leather recliner made by Stickley and after 10 years it's still the most comfy in the house. Leather still nice, but does have some wear and tear.
