Furniture repair - Looking for options for repairing a couch

Afternoon folks! Quick and simple, two of my friends fucked up my couch while driving to move it to their apt while I was out of town. Brown leather sofa, pretty nice stuff. I am now looking for a place that can fix the damage. Leather is scrapped up, so maybe a reupholster-sort of solution? Never done this before, soliciting any and all advice please!

unfortunately leather is mostly an all or nothing deal. It's not really possible to reupholster just damaged areas, because it's impossible to match leather well.

Leather repair generally is a mix of fillers and dyes to fill-in and paint over damaged areas, which works ok on darker, more natural leathers.

I work for a reupholstery business. We’re pretty high-end and I’m not sure what kind of price you’re expecting but you can DM me and I can get more specific.
