Desert Luggage Tag
Desert Luggage Tag
These luggage tags are made from Herman Oak leather, which uses a tradition method of vegetable tanning. They are then glued together and die cut to shape. After that, with a little help from Grapheme, the tags are letterpress printed with our designs using a Chandler & Price press from 1912.
Simply use a permanent pen to write in your info. (ultra fine sharpie works great, no gel pens)
Includes a scrap of leather for you to practice.
We love this sentiment from the GRAPHEME website.
“A grapheme is the smallest meaningful contrastive unit in a written language. At its most basic, a grapheme is only a symbol—a letter of an alphabet, a punctuation mark or a typographic ligature. But graphemes put together are transformative: they are tools to create order from disorder, articulate the inchoate, provide meaning when none was there.
The same phenomenon happens in a creative workspace. At Grapheme, we believe these transformative moments (and the best versions of ourselves) are enabled when our thinking is clear and free of distractions and when we are focused on a meditative task—ideally one using our hands. When we make things with our hands, what is small has the capacity to become powerful and significant. The kernel of an idea. A match struck unexpectedly in the dark—changing the way we see and understand the world in a fundamental way”
