1974 STATE OF MIND

Where handcrafted leather goods are best known for their off-the-cuff attitude. Indie-spirited. Modern, yet vintage infused. Where stories have seeped in, dwelling in each piece of leather before it’s even made into the heirloom it will become. Where quality over quantity reigns. Where the distinctively designed and carefully crafted rise above a sea of mass produced, stamped out patterns. How textures, scars, and markings from the past become the highlight of each piece made today. Never linear. Never perfect. Never stays the same.
