Well Kept – a leather collection in praise of good order

A September study – Volume I-B.

Well Kept is a small exhibition about the quiet art of keeping – the drawer where everything has its place, and the line written down before it slips away. Every design here is original, drawn for people who like their things in good order.

First, we stood five spoons in a row, smallest to largest, and set IN GOOD ORDER beneath them – a graduated drawer, remembered as a stamp.

On the golden tan tray the words keep their own promise: keys and coins land in good order every evening.

The same row runs lengthwise along the luggage tags, from deep wine to warm tan. Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

Next, we ruled a little page and gave WORTH WRITING DOWN the first line, leaving the rules beneath it empty – the journal finishes the sentence.

It looks genuinely beautiful, in deep wine and in warm tan.

And finally, we braided three strands into an endless ring and set MADE BY HAND at its center – true of the braid, and true of the leather it is pressed into.

Keychains with the braided ring, in chestnut and deep green, look just awesome.

On the toiletry bags the ring sits small in the lower corner, the way a maker's mark should.

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.
