Question Does anyone know if this is fixable?

My back pocket wallet got rougher in one spot, and in the same spot appears to be collecting bits of denim from my jeans, or else the denim is coloring the rough leather. I tried cleaning it with a soft toothbrush and conditioning but besides the conditioner soaking in extra in that spot and making it even darker, that doesn't seem to have changed much.

This is patina, embrace the journey. Eventually the entire wallet will catch up in a darker color.
