First you need to resolve what is causing tearing as that is not a common/natural wear spot. Clearly it is rubbing on console trim (lots of sharp plastic pieces and angles there).

Then, remove entire e-brake assembly (v simple - 4 frame hold down nuts, an e-brake cable tensioner bolt, and wire sensor clip). Find good local upholsterer (automotive preferably but it's small enough any will do) and they will be able to repair / replace covering beautifully - even dying some stock leather to match if need be.

Good luck
