My Q&A with Canvas Rebel (2024)
– I’m torn between two worlds…creating functional art at a slower, more intentional pace and trying to sell it in a mainstream, e-commerce environment... I’ve found myself getting lost in that shuffle of faster, bigger…cheaper. – Beth Dryden
Grateful to have been asked to do another article by the Canvas Rebel family.

Life & Work with Beth Dryden (2022)
I find beauty in all things that are less than perfect. Multi-layered with depth, soul…scars. This rebrand from Bernice London to 1974 Leather Co. was a shift in perspective on both an artistic and business front. It’s where the past 10 years have led me, shaped me, molded me. It’s more refined. More intentional. Slower made. Off-the-cuff. It’s about celebrating beautiful veg-tanned hides and creating distinctively designed collections. 1974 is a state of mind.
Thankful to have had the opportunity to chat with the fine folks at Voyage Savannah.

I feel like I own a piece of art with a story - just what I want to bring along as I create my own adventures.

S.74 Legacy Riders
you’re the star gazers. the indie spirited. marching to your own drum. the ones who see beyond the surface. the ones who possess effortless individuality…going about this world with humility, kindness… boldness. this list is for you.
it’s a trail-marked letter… slow. quiet. intentional. it bears a cadence that mimics the artisan ways of life at Sondera… and it’s always worth opening. You’ll receive different kinds of notes from me—stories, process, rituals, rare finds. They’re not on a schedule, just stitched into the rhythm of the month.
Not everyone’s meant to be here… but if you feel it, Letter No. 1 arrives when you do.
