the dust & leather society :: why this exists

For the first believers.

This is your chance to become part of the origin story of Sondera 1974... a future space where artistic leather collections will be born, curated wine experiences will take place and tactile beauty is accessible. Your support will help me bring this to life. It won’t be measured by tote bags or stitched goods, though you will receive special tokens along the way. This is quieter than that. Lasting... foundational.

After this initial founders funding which ends soon, The Dust & Leather Society will be closed and those who were meant to be here... your name — or mark — will be woven into the bones of this space. Into the foundation, the shelves, the soil of Sondera 1974. You are the spark.

Sondera 1974 is the culmination of every leather-worn moment, every poured glass, every long shot I’ve held in my hands. I’m building a physical space that holds more than products.

✦ It’s where handmade leatherwork will continue—deep, soulful, and unhurried.

✦ It’s where I’ll host small, curated wine tastings and story-filled evenings, guided by my certification as a sommelier but shaped by something much more intimate. Easy going. No snobbery. No judgements. Just good people + good vino.

✦ It’s a gallery, a refuge, a place to gather around texture, time, and taste.

✦ The goal is to have the main studio/experience space here in Atlanta, with seasonal pop-ups in Savannah.

This is the first time I’ve asked for help building anything—but it’s not for a launch, or a hype moment. It’s for roots... and The Dust & Leather Society will be the reason this becomes real.

thank you for being here,

Beth
