Leather restoration is also commonly known as leather repair and refinishing. This profession has grown rapidly alongside the development of detailing culture. As customer expectations increased, the premium segment no longer wanted to replace or reupholster a steering wheel or seat because of a small defect.
The desire to preserve as much of the original material as possible gave strong momentum to the development of this craft and made leather restoration a highly valued skill.
