Default Recommended leather repairs in and around Melbourne?

Hi everyone, just have my Jaguar XJ6 from 1996, looking to get some stitching repaired and have the side bolster leather replaced (I would fill it but I would like for it to last for a long time compared to filler)

Any recommendations for leather seat repairs around Melbourne? Thanks

Did you find any specialists to do the job?
The problem always is matching the pattern and colour.

yes I did!
Peter Blackman repairs in Moorabbin was fantastic, colour matching was really good and the new leather is identical to the original. The process took some time and patience but well worth it and the money.

Quality was key in selecting him
here are some attached photos of the repair work

Yes, that looks amazing. That's a great finish. Yes, I'd forgotten about them. They've been around for some time.. Beautiful.
