The American Women's Club of The Hague × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world logos.

An August study.

For The American Women's Club of The Hague.

For the warm-up, we pressed the official mark onto the luggage tags, running lengthwise along the strap end. The navy and pale rose tags take a blind press; the black tag carries the mark in gold.

Next, the city bird. The Hague keeps a stork on its coat of arms, and since 1930 women from more than twenty countries have landed here and found the club holding the door open – so our stork flies in carrying a suitcase. AT HOME IN THE HAGUE.

It rides in the corner of the toiletry bags, navy over deep espresso brown, and lands on a pair of keychains, one navy and one pale sea-blue. Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

Then, the table. Nearly two hundred members come from more than twenty countries, and the whole idea fits on one piece of furniture – we drew the table with a single teapot at its center and let the lettering do the counting.

And finally, the one we liked the most. A volunteer club keeps its own book, ninety-six years of minutes written by many hands – so the journal cover carries an open book with one page caught mid-turn, and EVERY WOMAN ADDS A PAGE beneath it.

One journal in pale rose, one in navy. Looks absolutely gorgeous when stamped onto the leather.

We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
