A friend of mine who lives out in LA wrote me an email yesterday:

“have you heard of this dude? http://www.makr.com/
apparently he is some leather-maker in orlando…..??!”

I have heard of MAKR before. I heard about it in the best way. Not by hype or hypnotism by a slick brand or image. I found out about it when I actually saw the physical product in everyday use. A customer came in and was using one of the leather envelope-proportion wallets and when I inquired about it, she said that it was her fiances’ leather goods line. That’s more powerful than any advertising that you can do for a product. I think that my friend Katie has a wallet from them as well.

I am a huge fan of leather goods. I am a picky picky leather good consumer. MAKR Goods look very well crafted. They create only a small run of each items which allows them to focus on the design and quality. This is becoming so far and few these days. It makes me so happy to see a young company focus on craftsmanship.

The wallets look spendy but the price points are very reasonable. The above will set you back $65 US- that is, if you can get your hand on one at all.

These accessories are selling out faster than a Zhu Zhu Pet.
