These areas should repair quite successfully but the key will be whether there is any grease or body oils present.

 

On photo 1 this type of damage is very common when grease is present and has caused the pigment to come away from the leather.

If grease is present then you will need a degreasing product to remove the grease and then the area will have to be recoloured and refinished.

Generally speaking this is not a process that we would recommend that you do yourself as there can be many problems and the results may be worse than the damage.

There are companies that would be willing to sell you products to have a go but as we are a professional product supplier we would suggest that you have a leather technician look at this problem and he/she will have the correct products and techniques to do a long lasting repair.

 

If you clean and protect the leather on a regualr basis you may help to prevent things getting worse but ideally you will need to get this problem fixed correctly before doing anything else.

On Nubuck 'dry' cleaning methods need to be employed so we use a napping brush to raise the pile and a Nubuck Cloth (like A tack cloth) to do the actual cleaning.

 

The leather section needs a good quality protector to protect it against dye transfer and general dirt etc. you can then use Lazy Leather as a general maintenance cleaner. 

 

The nubuck area can be protected with Waterstop and this could be used as a protector on the leather as well if you do not want to purchase too many products.  Waterstop is an excellent nubuck and suede protector and has stood up extremely well in tests.

 

Try this  handbag kit and nubuck kit these will take care of this and any other handbags you may have.

The area of damage in this case does not look too bad (there is normally bubbling etc.) so it may be possible to rehydrate and recolour the area.  Could be worth a go before you finally ditch them.
