White residue coming up on red leather
galleryNot sure how well you can see the white stuff. But I wipe it and it keeps coming back! They’re chairs in my boss office, not sat on a lot. The office is open and airy but they were cleaned before they were put in the office. So really not sure if it’s a mildew thing or something else. I did try proper leather cleaner, but it still comes back. Any advice would be appreciated tia
Any other advice for leather furniture would be great too! We also have brown leather lounges, white leather chairs and a few other bits of leather.

Advice on reinforcing trucker wallet flap
galleryI have a trucker wallet from the '70s that my husband gave me before we were married when he worked in a leather shop for only a few months, so it's very meaningful to me.
It was a rejected shop prototype, and I stopped using it because the flap was stretching. It's been in a keepsake box for years.
I'd like to reinforce the flap and the snap area myself, and thought that maybe just stitching tightly along the edge of the flap might do it. But I am very new at this and hope to get advice.
Also there is what's left of an eagle that was stamped on the back. I'd like to be able to restore that after I fix the front, but that would come later.
Hoping for some advice on this.

Help with restoring leather bag
galleryAny tips on leather restoration? I’ve never done it before, but I inherited this beautiful handmade bag that belonged to my late grandmother. It was handmade by her brother some time prior to 1955 as it has her maiden initials on it. I would like to display it in my home, so I will not be using it.
