What Is “Liquid Leather” and How to Use It?

Practical Guide to Repairing Shoes, Bags and Leather Accessories

Do you have shoes or a bag with visible cracks or worn corners? Instead of throwing them away, discover the secret of professional cobblers – liquid leather.

✅ What Is Liquid Leather?

Liquid leather is a flexible colored repair compound (usually water-based), used to restore small surface damage like scratches, scuffs, cracks, and minor tears on smooth leather. It dries into a strong, elastic layer and can be color-matched to your item.

👜 Where Can It Be Used?

• On worn shoe toes or heels

• On handbag corners and edges

• Leather belts and wallets

• Leather furniture and car seats

• Any smooth leather surface (not suitable for suede or textile)

🔧 How to Use Liquid Leather — Step-by-Step:

1. Clean the surface
   Use a leather cleaner (e.g. Tarrago Universal Cleaner) to remove dirt, grease or polish.

2. Choose the right color
   Match your item’s color – or mix two tones if necessary.

3. Apply a thin layer
   Use a spatula, cotton swab or brush. Smooth out evenly.

4. Let it dry
   Wait 12 hours at room temperature without touching the area.

5. Finish with leather cream or protector
   To protect the result and match texture or shine.

6. 🧩 Which Product to Choose?

   We recommend Tarrago Filling Paste or SAPHIR RENOVATING CREAM – an internationally trusted product that:

   • Comes in a wide range of colors

   • Works well at home

   • Can be used alongside leather creams and waterproofing sprays
