Black 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.
