Want a sofa which looks wonderfully lived in and characterful but that isn't second hand.
Nice worn looking dark brown leather. Any tips? Happy to spend quite a but if I could only find the right one.

John Lewis had some of these in. I noticed when we were looking although it was a few months ago.

We got our sofa from Darlings of Chelsea - not a distressed leather on, but we've had it over 2 years now and its holding up well. Going back soon for another one .

(then again DD's not quite 2, so it hasn't had as much abuse as it could have done...)
