Made by hand
Autumshere is about objects that are made slowly. We are infatuated with goods that someone designed because they could not find anything good enough: a card case, a laptop sleeve, a cruiser bicycle, a sofa built from something that was never meant to be a sofa. We write about how those objects are designed and built, what they are made of, and how they age.
Leather
Most of what we cover is leather. The best leather is the kind that wears in, not out: dark, matte or waxy, and full of life marks and grain that make every piece different. We explain tannages, weights, stitching and edges so that you can judge a piece for yourself, whoever made it.
Goods
The Goods section holds our guides to individual types of object: front-pocket card cases, zip wallets, tablet, laptop and phone sleeves, custom cruisers and upcycled furniture. The Vault holds workshop notes and features on materials and process. The Card Room looks at the craft behind gaming objects, from poker table rails and casino chips to roulette wheels, dice cups and antique slot machines.
Independent
This domain was once home to AUTUM, a small American workshop that made leather goods, bicycles and furniture in limited runs. Autumshere is an independent publication on the same themes. We are not affiliated with that workshop or any of its people, we do not sell its products or anyone else's, and we cannot answer questions about past orders. Brands, tanneries and shops are mentioned only where it helps the reader.
Privacy
