Sondera 1974 / Artisan made leather goods

This season, I’m choosing intention over frenzy. No discounts, no pressure... just slow-made leatherwork offered when it’s ready. Quiet Horizon, a small study in washed hides, minimal forms and restraint releases Tuesday, Dec. 5th. Only 5 pieces were made.

Every piece at Sondera 1974's Atlanta studio begins in my hands, but it’s finished in yours…carrying the story, memory, and ritual only you can give it. This is a gallery for collectors and collaborators. Some pieces are ready to be yours; others are made to order. Nothing is rushed, and no two are the same.

Happy Holidays!

"Absolutely exquisite pieces that capture the essence of a time when high-quality items were created with care to last a lifetime. A time when all of the fun and excitement came from purchasing an item with that simple thought in mind. Will I love it forever? Speaking from experience, I promise, yes, you will love 1974 4ever!" – Chelsea W.

Leather Artisan Atlanta, Beth Dryden in here studio

leather as a medium.

At Sondera 1974, leather isn’t perfected; it’s preserved. Every scar, stretch mark, and rustic edge is left in place as an act of reverence.

This is slow work, where ethics meet artistry, and nothing is rushed or repeated.

Founder and artist Beth Dryden, based in Atlanta, creates each piece as a study in time, texture, and ritual...made for those drawn to meaningful materials and soulful design.
