I have used a brown furniture marker in the past so it is not as obvious in the small areas that are peeling. I have heard of painting the leather using a fabric paint(latex paint can be mixed with a fabric medium). This will hide the areas that have peeled up but won't prevent any more peeling. Re-upholstery is the other alternative.
What you have is bonded leather - just a thin coating of leather over material. There is a u-tube site that shows you how to repair it so it doesn't show that involves sanding and is very involved. It will not keep the rest from peeling. Reupholstering is as expensive as buying new furniture.
Hello Debbie,
Im not sure the degree of deterioration, would removing the loose edges and 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.

Sal is right that what you have is only bonded leather. Genuine leather does not peel.
Unfortunately bonded leather is one of these products sold today that is manufactured to be disposable, rather than repairable, once it starts to wear out or disintegrate.
Ok thanks everyone!
