Leather color issue on new H&M sofa

[johnstonamerica]

Does this glazing ever "fade" or wear off? Do they seal it after it's put on?

For Imperial Whiskey Burnished, what color dyes and burnishing colors are used? Does H&M offer a "repair/touch-up" kit for delivered furniture that has dyed, burnished and/or glazed leather?

I can't say specifically what colors and dyes are used. I can tell you that during a factory tour I watched as they worked on several burnished leather pieces and the "crusts" (un-glazed leathers) are quite light. Then they apply this mud-like glazing compound over the entire piece, then begin wiping it off and rubbing it in at the same time. That's the glaze. Then they seal it when they're satisfied with what it looks like.

I've never requested a repair or touch up kit for a burnished hide. I suppose they would have something....

Thanks for the response. I don't know that I would ever need something like this but was curious if something was available.

If one was ordering a pair of chairs in a burnished leather would they be burnished by the same person at the same time so that at least the chairs would appear to match each other? Is this something that is assumeded by the customer or a special request by the dealer on the order form to HM?

Yes, they will be VERY similar if ordered together.
