This September, it will have been a year since Tahlia Leather was officially established in the public eye. Specialising in luxury leather products, it was no easy feat to start our company in Northern Ireland, but the amount of support we’ve received as a local business this year has been so encouraging.
It’s been such an exciting year where we’ve held events in the Merchant hotel, featured in multiple issues of the Ulster Tatler and even been shortlisted for start up of the year awards! We’ve also been honoured to support local charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, The Brain Tumour Charity and Youth for Christ.
We’ve had a lot of fun along the way and we’re glad that you are able to follow our journey with us. So we thought it was about time that we introduced you all properly to Tahlia.
