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 — Kelly Green

Kelly Green is fresh, vibrant and full of personality, the kind of green that instantly lifts a design and brings bags to life. It feels confident without being overpowering and adds a beautiful pop of colour whether you use it for an entire bag or as a strong feature panel.

This shade pairs beautifully with florals, black, white, denim tones and bold prints, and it is stunning when mixed with other bright colours for a high energy look. Whether you are making everyday bags, statement totes or fun accessories, Kelly Green always brings colour, confidence and a playful spark to your finished bag.
