An invitation to spend any afternoon in the Merchant Hotel is
my idea of heaven! But when it’s coupled with a showcase of this
season’s stunning collection by local luxury leather brand Tahlia
Leather, I’m in seventh heaven! Clearly I’m not the only one as
over 100 glamorous gals headed to the super stylish event. Fans
including Pamela Ballantine settled into the Rita Duffy Suite for an
afternoon of fabulous fashion and afternoon tea. Tahlia (meaning
‘morning dew – lambkin’) was established in 2017 by Elaine
Dobson. Elaine believes TAHLIA Leather fills a gap in the Northern
Irish fashion market for local and sustainable luxury fashion. Based
in Moira, county Armagh, Elaine and her team work tirelessly to
source the highest quality of lambskin for the TAHLIA Leather
Collection. The buttery soft leather that goes into creating each
beautiful Tahlia Leather piece comes from the Welsh valleys,
Yorkshire Dales and farms on the Emerald Isle. Tahlia then manage
the tannery as the leather is carefully dyed into unique bespoke and
beautiful shades to suit everyone. Each piece is 100% lambskin and
handcrafted to give the entire range its luxury finish. The collection
includes lusted after ladies’ and gents’ jackets, coats and shirts,
beautiful handbags and accessories. There is also a particularly
special bridal collection of capes. Bridal gowns showcased on the
day were courtesy of Marie Me Bridal and headpieces were by
Deborah K Design.
Other highlights included pop up shops with some of the most
exciting home grown beauty brands on the market, including
Lusso Tan - which was created by Secret Day Spa proprietors
Lynsey Bennett and Leah White alongside their sister Sarah
White; and Tonya Kidd-Beggs, who’s nose for business led her
to launch the high-end fragrance range Stories by Eliza Grace.
