Delanie & AJ × Leatherius Woodman – a private wedding gift study
From the Practice Log – a private wedding-gift study from Leatherius Woodman.
A July study.
Delanie and AJ marry on December 15, 2026, in La Romana, on the Dominican Republic's southeastern coast. Every guest travels to be there, and the room gathers over several warm days; a luggage tag starts earning its keep the moment such an invitation is accepted.
Their published plans handed us the premise: the week steps downhill through stone-built places toward the water and closes on a beach the morning after the vows. From that shape we drew three directions on speculation, each with a different emotional job to do, and each rendered below as a family of three tags wearing the same stamp on different leathers. We hold the page privately until someone close to the day welcomes it.
The quiet lockup
The formal mark takes the couple's own lockup, D & A on one line above a short rule and the date 12.15.2026, and frames it in a single rounded keyline. Every stroke is monoline, so it presses clean at die depth and reads like a small house crest on a strap; it suits the guest who wants the date kept without explanation. The render carries one die across its family – blind-debossed in cognac and in natural, struck in gold foil on black. Blind, the same mark goes nearly silent, and some hands prefer that.
The La Romana keystone
The place keepsake builds an arch from five solid blocks and hangs one wave line in the opening beneath, LA ROMANA arced above and 2026 set below. The geometry is our own invention, drawn bold so it survives the brass die. The stone village at the center of their week is a crafted place from our own century, so the tag honors craft over age; it names the ground the whole room shared and lets that ground be the keepsake. The render keeps the whole family blind – camel, forest green and poppy red – and in each leather the arch and wave read as pure shadow.
Four stops to the sea
The story keepsake is one continuous line. It runs level and then steps down once, a terrace edge in miniature; it levels again and ends as a single wave curl. Four solid dots mark the stops, and beneath them a small caption reads POOL TERRACE PLAZA BEACH. The published week actually holds one more gathering than the die admits; we folded the cocktail hour's pool into the terrace stop to keep the line legible at stamp scale, and the simplification is ours to own. Read it as the shape of the days. The render shows its family together – blind in blueberry and in natural, gold foil on black.
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.
