We used to have a white leather sofa ( yes with kids, I know ) the best thing for cleaning it was old fashioned natural soap flakes. Think you can get them in sainsburys.Mods:

Seriously, don't use any harsh or oily detergents (they end up attracting more dirt) and don't rub too hard. The stitching is a lot more fragile than the leather and will break down quickly if scrubbed.
I'm told that a very soft tooth brush with warm water (very dilute natural soap flakes) and gently wipe off before blow drying might help!

You want to use Johnsons sensitive baby wipes.
That'll clean up the stitching and leather without doing any damage ..... in fact they help condition the leather.
Been recommend these (by the supplier) for cleaning and conditioning the red leather on my expensive recliner chair.
Have been using these on the interior leather and trim on the D4 and does a great job.
Btw, why do you have exquisite white stitching on your quality black leather interior.
Everyone else just has boring grey or black stitching on their black leather.
...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
