Permanent Marker tends to be permanent. A solvent based cleaner reccomend for the material may work. But i doubt it.

The permanent marker stain in permanent. I have ruined two pair of jeans recently because caps came off the marker in my pocket. As an experiment I tried multiple solvents and detergents. Nothing worked.

Leather cleaning is best left to a professional. The many types of leather and dyes can be affected by cleaning. Suede finish is one particular type of finish that tends not to respond well to cleaning.
