Seat cover - driver's side
So, I scored a very nice condition passenger seat cover (top and bottom) and replaced my worn out driver's side (they're interchangeable with the exception of the child seat sensor, but that's easily removed). See pic below of the new cover on the seat.
Now I'm soliciting $$ interest in my old covers. They're not perfect, but may be better than some. If no interest, I'm going to cut one of them for a sample to send to a place in England to match the correct leather dye for the steering wheel.

117k miles. Yeah, the bolster got pretty worn from the previous owner (my brother). Gotta point out that the covers are off the seat without pads underneath, so they looks more creased than they actually are.

the designo leather looks very nice when it's undamaged but wear a lot more than full black leather.
white dye peels of when it gets worn.
I have black vinyl seat covers on my front seats for 12 years now.
same vinyl seat covers used in workshops.
seats looks very nice but leather on drivers seat side support next to the B-pillar has some creasing in leather, I have to treat it with leather conditioner a few times a year to protect it from getting worse.
best thing is to have black leather, imperfections are kept discrete that way

Looks like your top piece is in the same condition as mine (pretty sure that's normal wear and tear).
Your bottom is better than mine I think; I may be interested. Need to drive to the next town over where mine is stored and take a look to confirm.
