The softening filler comprises thermoexpansible microcapsules. The thermoexpansible microcapsules are impregnated into the leather from an aqueous dispersion or from a mixture containing the thermoexpansible microcapsules and fat liquor. After the leather is impregnated with the thermoexpansible microcapsules, the leather is heated to a temperature above which the thermoexpansible microcapsules expand. The process improves the softness of the leather.
