The Maker
A craft that
costs time.
Kasey Bracken has been making things by hand at Pike Place Market for over two decades. What started as jewelry — silversmithing learned in Mexico at age 11 — became leather in 2020. Every journal is hand-airbrushed, laser-engraved, and made to order.
No two journals are identical. The leather itself ensures that. Each hide has its own grain, its own character — and that character deepens with every year you carry it.
