Sonus Faber peeling leather

Hi
I recently bought a pair of SF Lilium, BNIB, and upon unpacking, found that the leather had started to peel. The dealer took them back. The dealer is having it re- wrapped but I was wondering if anyone has done this properly (not just sticking another layer over it) or does it have to go back to the factory to be done properly?
Thanks

That last pic was pretty bad. 
If the dealer is having Sonus Faber replace the leather, I would not be concerned-Especially, if they can insure the rest of the speaker is working as it should.
 If an outside party is doing the work, I might be inclined to take a pass.

Hi everyone,
I just went to take a look at the speakers. One side was done. They were done very professionally. The fit and finish was as good as new. They used a more durable felt type material that will be more durable than leather in tropical weather where I am and the dealer will warranty the job for 10 years, so I have decided to keep them. Most SF leather will eventually peel in the tropics. Thanks for all your advice!
Cheers
J
