is (kept) in the (same) beige leather


Explanation:
The use of "im", as opposed to "in" would seem to imply reference to a specific or previously referenced beige leather. Without more context, this is hard to judge, but I would read it as " the inner lining is (also) in the (same)beige leather".

Other than that, I agree: "gehalten" is probably superfluous.

disagree  Dierk Widmann: As there is a typo in the German original, I would be careful to jump to conclusions. "In beigem Leder" or "Im beigen Leder" are correct grammar. However, the latter is not normal usage.

  -> No, it is not normal usage, Dierk. It was just a suggestion. Thanks for the feedback.
