We have a beautiful leather love seat that’s starting to wear. There’s a place where it’s worn all the way through and needs to be repaired. What can we use, other than ugly duct tape?

More leather. You can actually glue a patch on. Not sure how good it will look. Can you have that cushion reupholstered to match? When the leather is gone, it’s gone. Patching or replacing is all you got.
