Default Leather chair has small tear

I have a 2 year old Ashley recliner from Showcase Direct that has a small tear or slice (about one and a half inches long) where your head rests. It has not been used and looks brand new. I don't know how the tear happened-just noticed it. The material is called Dura Blend which I understand is only about 20% leather. It was sold to me as excellent quality furniture but I have since heard this is not very good quality.

Has anyone found anyone who can repair something like this? If so please email me at: jays4884@gmail.com

Thank you

I heard once that car part stores sell vinyl repair kits that can also be used on furniture. I have no direct experiences with this but you might look into that. A quick search on Google for leather/vinyl repair also popped up several DIY kits.
