刚接触皮革的时候,接触的第一个小众皮革品牌应该就是Tanner Goods,当初在Tanner Goods的店铺里,流连忘返。
介绍了很多国外的皮革品牌,但一直却没介绍Tanner Goods,一是这个品牌国内其实知道的并不少,并不需要特别的介绍,另外也是一些小私心。
Tanner Goods 手工皮具品牌诞生于波特兰,一座盛产手工艺人的美国城市,主要制作小批量的皮革背包、腰带、包包、小钱包、和其他日用生活周边配件。
和很多美国本土手工品牌一样,Tanner Goods骄傲的坚持Made in USA(美国制造),不仅仅反应在美国本土制作,几乎Tanner Goods所有的材料,全部选用美国本土的材料,美国芝加哥Horween Leather制革厂的皮革,美国本土独家秘方制作的上蜡帆布...让Tanner Goods成为地道的美国货。
Tanner Goods同样坚持传统手工艺,传统的技法,传统的复古工具,尤其是工具,让人口水不已。
虽然坚持传统的东西,但并不代表Tanner Goods固执的守旧,相反,Tanner Goods积极创新,在技艺、设计和功能之间平衡,也在传统和现代审美之间平衡。

An Exploration in Craft - Featuring: Tanner Goods

This video serves as a documentation of craft that I have long been interested in as a Graphic Designer, and someone who appreciates hand made goods. It is wonderful to see a company that thrives in the "small batch" business model, and I hope they continue to make good things for a long time coming. The process of making something as simple as a belt can remind us of the roots of what this country was founded on: Creativity, Entrepreneurship, and Craftsmanship. Hope you enjoy it!
Special Thanks to:
Tanner Goods - (Thanks for the interview Sam)
Alex Toyoshima - (The guy making the belt) - Without you, this wouldn't have happened, so thanks for being so patient and letting me poke around with my camera. || www.alextoyoshima.com

适当的工具可以提高效率,但烧工具就没必要。
