Teal 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 — Teal
Teal Luxhide has a rich jewel tone that feels fresh, modern and incredibly versatile. It adds a pop of colour without being overpowering and works beautifully as either a feature fabric or an accent panel. This shade complements both warm and cool tones, making it an easy addition to your vinyl collection whether you sew with prints, neutrals or bold statement colours.
