Berry Burgundy Luxhide Butter Soft Vinyl Faux Leather
What is Luxhide?
Luxhide Faux Leather Vinyl has a truly beautiful feel — soft, flexible and buttery to the touch — with a finish that’s remarkably close to high-quality leather but without the premium leather price tag. If you’re looking for a material that instantly elevates your bag-making projects with a luxurious, professional finish, this is such a wonderful choice.
It sews beautifully on both domestic and industrial sewing machines. Whether you’re new to sewing with vinyl or you’ve been making bags for years, Luxhide is a dream to work with and quickly becomes a favourite.
Colour Notes — Berry Burgundy
Berry Burgundy is a deep, elegant burgundy with a juicy berry undertone and a smooth satin like finish. It feels rich and confident without being overpowering, making it an incredibly versatile colour for bag making projects that need a little drama while still feeling wearable and timeless.
This shade works beautifully across a wide range of bag styles, from structured handbags to relaxed everyday designs. It pairs effortlessly with soft pinks, creams and neutrals, and looks especially striking when combined with Light Pink for a modern, feminine contrast.

Handbag Hardware Pairings
Choosing the right hardware can completely transform the look of your Berry Burgundy Luxhide bag. Here are my top picks, each one brings its own personality and pairs beautifully with this rich, elegant colour:
- Gold Hardware is the hero pairing for Berry Burgundy. It adds warmth and richness and gives bags a beautiful luxe feel without overpowering the vinyl.
- Rose Gold Hardware softens the depth of the burgundy and blends beautifully with the berry tones for a feminine, elegant finish.
- Gunmetal Hardware adds contrast and a slightly moodier edge, perfect for modern or statement style bags.
- Silver Hardware brightens the colour slightly and works well when you want a lighter, more balanced look.
If you love switching up your bag making style, any of these will work beautifully, it just comes down to the look you want to create.
