Of The Fountain - Leather goods

On the search for what to buy a frequent travelling friend we are delighted to discover of The Fountain. The US based studio brings fashion & classic together with its exquisite luggage giving off old world’s vibe. Every piece is delicately handmade by Brandy. Brandy was inspired by a whim of the movie Harold and Maude. Brandy started her business with her early builted Arts education background.

Each character is hand stamped individually into the leather with a metal stamp. After all the stamping is complete, leather tag will be dyed and added black ink around the edges. It takes over night to dry and then finished with suede lace.

You can pick Brandy's favourite quotes and wordings on it.

Those are in the ready-to-ship section of the online store. (take 1 business day to ship)

you can customerize you front type and words (take 2 weeks to ship)

Of The Fountain presents other accessories as well, you can browse all the items at Of The Fountain's blog.

Editor review:

I love the meaningful quotes and words Brandy chosen on the luggage tag. The typography looks astoundingly beautiful on it. I am pretty sure it catches my friend's eyes on the baggage carousel. Who says luggage tags only put on luggage bags? I am having a leather tag on my hand bag which is brilliant. Leather is a wonderful thing because the color will gradually change by the time you use it. It might take few weeks or months. With Of The Fountain, you can have the original color or dye colour right now. Wait no more.

Tanner Goods - The Things We Carry Vol. III: Lead & Wood‏

“Draw, Antonio, draw Antonio, draw. Draw, and do not waste time.” Those words were written by one Leonardo DaVinci in his notebook, as advice to his young assistant. We like DaVinci’s style, and it’s clear that when it came to his work, he had at least one guiding rule: Get to it. This week, we’re pleased to announce the restock of one our favorite tool combos that will help you do just that: Tanner Goods pencils andnotebooks. These are tools, you say? To which we say: Hell yes. Made from the most basic of materials—wood-sheathed lead, and paper—these two items allow for one of the most important aspects of any worthwhile project: Its creation, refinement, and exploration. Designed to help you take what’s on your mind, from grocery lists and bills to plot ideas for your novel to innovative submarine technologies, and give it form, these humble items deserve a place in everyone’s pocket. 

Our notebooks are assembled by hand in our studio, contain 48 graph paper pages, and are chock full of handy tidbits of information, ranging from conversion tables to animal tracks to common knots and ties. We think you’ll find them useful, or at the very least, amusing. They measure 5.5” x 3.5”. 

 
Tanner Goods pencils are old fashioned #2s, hand stamped (by us) with our fine logo and sold in bundles of 12. You will need to supply your own sharpener. Stock up, head out, and remember the words of DaVinci, or at least the advice of our dad: “Write it down, son. Write it down.”

Both the pencils and notebooks are available at our Tanner Goods flagship store and The Woodlands, as well as online at tannergoods.com and woodlandsshop.com. As with all things good, this run won’t last forever, so don’t spend too much time pondering.
