The Journey of Beautiful Faux Leather & Vinyl
Hello! I’m Tania Martin, a dedicated crafter from Springfield Lakes, Queensland, Australia. My journey into the world of Beautiful Faux Leather & Vinyl began after a shoulder injury sidelined me for nearly a year. During this time, I found solace in my lifelong passion for crafting. Crafting has always been my refuge, and I’ve experimented with everything from reupholstering furniture to bag making.
Bag making seemed like a natural progression for me, given my background in the craft industry. I’m self-taught and constantly seeking to learn new techniques. I began exploring various materials, including fabrics, vinyl and wood. It was during this exploration that I discovered printed Faux Leather, and I was instantly captivated by its versatility and beauty.
Before long, I started receiving enquiries from people admiring my creations. They wanted to know where I sourced my Faux Leather and Vinyl, if I was selling them, and if I could teach them how to use these materials. The demand for my expertise and materials was evident.
Faced with uncertainty about my shoulder’s recovery and job security, I made a significant decision. With the unwavering support of my loving family, I set out to create our small family online business, Beautiful Faux Leather & Vinyl. My husband, Ray, and daughter, Larni, have been my rock throughout this journey, helping turn my passion into a thriving venture.
Today, Beautiful Faux Leather & Vinyl stands as a testament to resilience and determination. From our home in Queensland, Australia, I continue to share my knowledge and experience with fellow crafters, offering not only high-quality Faux Leather and Vinyl products, but also a touch of old-fashioned service that sets our store apart.
As I reflect on this journey, I am proud of the path we’ve forged. My love for crafting has blossomed into a business that brings joy and inspiration to others. Beautiful Faux Leather & Vinyl is not just a store; it’s a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.
Thank you for visiting and supporting our small family-owned and operated Australian business.
Be the best beautiful you can be!
