# How to Fix Tearing Seams on a Leather Couch
Over time, the seams on a leather couch can become stressed and develop tears. This can happen with regular usage of the couch. If your leather couch features vinyl pieces, you can't fix the tear. Instead, your only option is reupholstering. However, if the couch has only leather pieces, you can repair the torn seams on your own. You don't need any type of couch repairing expertise to fix the leather seams.
