It's a good thing it didn't tear off the very top grain of the leather (scotch tape will often do that if left on long enough). You could try to remove the adhesive by using Un-du, maybe goof-off? They are adhesive removers & work reasonably well (try on a piece of scrap first, though, to see if it discolors the leather). I don't know if deglazer would work, but you could try it as a last resort. Good luck.

Get an artist's gum eraser. It will take the adhesive off the leather without damaging it. You can find them in any craft or hobby store.
