How can I fix flaking "pleather"?
I have a very comfortable desk chair that is covered with fake leather material. The outermost layer is peeling and flaking off, especially the arm rests and the front edge of the seat. Is there an easy way to remedy this problem?

It sounds like it's made of bonded leather, which is just a very thin layer of leather that's adhered onto a thicker layer. Once it starts peeling, I haven't found a good way to stop it. I did publish a tutorial on reupholstering this kind of chair, though: https://mermaidsden.com/blog/reupholster-office-chair

Hello. I can think of two possible options to offer.
You might consider leather/vinyl repair kit. Commonly found in automotive sections. You will be supplied with several colors in tiny pots to custom mix your patch and sample textures to stamp over your repair to match your appearance of defective project.
Im not sure the degree of restoration required, could touch up paint work? That what my son did on his sofa with this product.
You need to check over reviews Q&A and see if your correct color is available. Hope this helps.
