If you have bonded leather, unfortunately there is not much of a way to save it since it is the equivalent of particle board wooden products. Bonded leather is simply what the name says: it is leather shavings bonded together with adhesive and plastic glue to a piece of fabric. Over time the adhesive element wears away and the leather shavings begin to separate and come unglued from the material. As these fall away, the material below is exposed. Cosmetic repairs have been used to salvage the look of the furniture as a whole but once those areas have been compromised, the bonded leather continues to deteriorate and other areas may begin to show the same types of problems.

  Leather can be thought of as a non-woven mass of fibrous collagen protein that is derived from the skin of animals and that has been rendered biorefractive. An animal skin is made biorefractive and thereby converted into leather by the tanning process. The tanning process permanently incorporates what amounts to biocide into the collagen protein. Other desirable characteristics are imparted to the leather through fatliquoring, coloring, dressing, waterproofing, shaping, and working. Fatliquoring is the process of incorporating fats, greases, and oils into the body of the leather. The presence of fats, greases, and oils in leather lubricates the fibers and tends to waterproof the leather. Without enough internal lubrication, the fibers will abrade and break due to friction, and the leather may crack. Leather is given a color by means of dying or pigmenting. Depending upon the means employed, the coloration can be incorporated through the entire thickness of the leather, or it can ...
