EverAfter Travel × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study
From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world marks.
A July study.
EverAfter Travel is a boutique destination-wedding travel agency in Rogers, Minnesota, and Jodi Schlichting has been steering couples toward all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean since 2017. She caps the number of weddings the agency accepts so that couples and their guests receive genuinely high-touch support. Jodi says her earlier work as an “eagle-eyed business analyst” shapes how she handles travel details, and the founding year sitting inside the logo like a ledger entry suggests the same habit of mind. Her site greets you with “Your wanderlust-fueled ‘happily ever after’ starts here.”
The mark is what stopped us. A thin oval medallion holds a looping script EA crowned by two small leaf strokes, with EST standing on one side of the oval and 2017 on the other. Beneath it, EverAfter runs in a high-contrast serif while Travel rises in brush script. A medallion carrying its own year is already halfway to a wax seal, and a seal exists to be pressed. We did wonder whether that fine oval would survive a deboss at luggage-tag scale. It held.
The mark, as found
Pressed
Deep forest green follows the near-black teal of the monogram, while pale gray-sand gives the fine script the airy quiet of their wedding pages. Black carries the gold foil. The tags run portrait, upright the way a seal wants to sit; we left the small DESTINATION WEDDINGS line off the stamp, since at this size it would fill in.
Happily ever after
Every just-married car in America has dragged tin cans down a driveway, and a destination wedding trades the car for luggage. So we gave the ritual to the suitcase, which trails its three cans on a string above the words HAPPILY EVER AFTER. This one runs lengthwise, so the cans have road behind them.
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.
