Default how to fix a rip in the leather

Hi everyone I got a small (1 cm) rip on the leather part of my armrest. What is the best way to repair it? The color is beige.

Thanks

option 1, replace arm rest, will not match the rest of the leather,

option 2, call dealer, they will know a repair company who can very seamlessly repair the tear, i have seen there work, very good

Ditto on option 2. I had a small rip in the rear seat of my leased Lincoln. My mechanic's used car operation put me in touch with their leather repair guy and he came to my driveway and made it look like new. Cost was $115. It certainly beat the Ford Credit charge for replacement of the rear seat cushion.
