' morning Ben

You could buy a consumer kit and risk doing it yourself ( risky ) or you could phone LTT  or  Furniture Clinic  or  Buffalo all of whom supply suitable kits.

No. It will need recolouring.

Best to try a kit first then if that does not work it means that the dye has travelled too far into the finish and recolouring will be needed.  General leather cleaners are not strong enough to deal with this but you need tested products that are safe to use.
Use a Jean and Dye Transfer Remover kit http://www.lttsolutions.co.uk/jean-and-dye-transfer-removal-kit.html which is safe to use but we alo have trade products if you run a business.

Hope this helps

The longer the dye is on the leather the harder it will be to remove.  Give me a ring and we can help sort out the problem.
Cheers
