Light Pink 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 — Light Pink
Light Pink Luxhide is soft, sweet and beautifully delicate with a gentle satin like finish. It is the kind of pink that feels light and joyful, never overpowering, and perfect when you want a soft feminine touch without going too bright. This shade works beautifully for everyday bags, statement accents, children’s accessories and any project that needs a gentle pop of happy colour.

Threadsation™ Tex 45 Bag Makers Thread Pairings
Choosing the right thread can completely change the look of your finished bag. Here are my favourite Threadsation shades that pair beautifully with Light Pink Luxhide, whether you want soft and subtle or a little extra pop:
- Blossom Petal is the closest match for soft, delicate stitching that blends beautifully into this gentle pink.
- Pink Delight gives you a brighter pink pop while still keeping everything pretty and coordinated.
- Snow White is perfect when you want your stitching to stand out against the soft pink for a lighter contrast.
- Silver Lining is a lovely option when you want something softer than white but still lighter than pink for subtle contrast.
This gives you a beautiful mix of tonal, playful and lighter contrast options depending on the look you’re going for.
