Gryffin, I hope you don’t mind my copying your reply to Kari with your suggestions on leather repair places.
Your suggestions are very useful and I would like to have them in an easy to search format, just in case anyone needs them.
If anyone knows of other good sites for leather repair, please feel free to add and also please reply to Kari.
Gryffin’s suggestions:

http://www.leatherrepaircompan.....-repaired/ You need to check the BBB and reviews if there are any but the pictures were impressive but there is different lighting on afters. Good luck and I hope someone can salvage it for you!! Hugs.
ETA:
https://www.withoutatrace.com/ Kari I saw this recommended awhile ago. This is the site I was looking for. Can't remember where I read the article but they were highly recommended.”
