Refurbing a stressed leather suite
Discussion
Ok, so we've a suite of furniture that has stressed leather arm rests, sides and back. Material cushions.
The suite itself is in great condition, so we're not feeling the urge to replace it.
The leather is like a dark brown stressed effect.
Two notable issues - one part of it sits close to a window and has bleached. Secondly, there are some cat claw marks on it. Not deep, but being stressed / leather they're noticable.
Was thinking of getting someone in to refurb it but i get the impression this is going to be about the creams / dyes used...?
Anyone any guidance / done anything similar?

Just in case anyone should search for similar via google or otherwise, i found a leather restorer and he came out and did the full restoration on the leather.
Multi different shades with the fading so took quite a bit of effort (and multiple weird colours!) to blend it in. Back to as new now.
