North & Mooring. Intentionally Simple - Profoundly Meaningful
Handmade in the USA
-
-
Made from natural, non-toxic vegetable tanned leather. We use the highest quality American leather. Veg-tan leather can be molded, carved, stamped and dyed. We hand-stamp our signature star and anchor on every piece.
-
Stitching holes are punched by hand to prepare for the hand stitching. We intentionally leave the leather raw and unfinished. This allows the leather to "weather" naturally. The rough edges add another texture to the tactile experience.

-
Each piece is stitched by hand using high-quality American thread. As veg-tan leather ages, it will darken, taking on a patina while the rough edges smooth over time. Nicks and scratches will develop character along the journey, unique to each piece.
Meaning and Purpose

North & Mooring
North
A star stamped at the top, symbolic of the North Star. An ageless symbol of constancy and a vital tool for navigation. We use it as a reference to one's own compass or center and a reminder that action needs purpose and guidance.
Mooring
The anchor is symbolic of mooring, where a vessel is secured to prevent drifting. A strategic pause, let the storm pass, find North, and resume the journey.
North & Mooring
A navigation strategy, finding a purposeful balance between action and stillness. A message of resiliency.

Make it personal! We offer free custom laser engraving on all products to make your item even more special. Look for the "Design it Here" button at the top of each product page. Create your design with our previewer and write a personal note for gift-giving.
