Our leather fell from stairs and got damaged. Just wondering if it can be repaired and restored to its original condition? It's pretty expensive sofa so don't want dodgy repair or DIY.
Here is the picture of damage.

I thought the Sofa was just being quiet…
Don’t chaise it away!
Probably can fix it, but cheaper to buy a new one.
Google it for leather repair services
Need better photo of the affected areas where the problem is in the middle of the photo so people can see the issue clearly.
Looks like OP is not going to do this.
I have updated the picture
Are you sure that's actual leather?
Yes I am sure
From what store?
that looks like PU leather to me. I've got scuffs on my leather couch, and they don't show that kind of lamination!
achew
'scuse me
It's corrected grain leather
Looks more like "genuine" or "bonded" leather, with the damage you've shown.
Nope, PU leather would not behave like this.
The answer is yes it can be repaired. Needs a leather repair specialist. Most likely will need the grain filler to build up the material that was removed, then three layers of colour. What will be difficult is the pattern, this is normally imprinted from a roller when the top coats are added, and is hard to replicate from a repair. They will certainly be able to restore a smooth surface of a similar colour.
This is the Amart Sofa advt.

I'm not sure if the Sofas in store were brought back in from the desert.
This just looks like it needs some leather paint. Few applications with a foam brush should do the trick. I have painted whole leather chairs in the past and found it to be quite effective, especially in an area like that which does not flex much. Hardest part will be colour matching.
Did it fall or was it pushed?
R U OK sofa?
Where did you buy your 'expensive' sofa from?
