Depends on how bad it is, sometimes you can sand of the dry bits and restore the leather and its original color. If its too bad fresh leather is an option, we had a group action in Holland sending the wheels to a specialist in Poland. I don't think you will get a decent result by replacing the leather yourself, not tight enough and getting the stitching right also requires quite a bit of experience.
