super milky mind: Ken Diamond

In my opinion, as we live in the world where everything can be done by machines, everything has an industry... things that are hand made are really precious. This guy Ken Diamond is an artist! He made leather products by his hand which are incredible beautiful and
The hat and shoes are noble, stylish. I especially love the logo- the antique anchor , the handwriting font and the gentle liana. The hardness of the anchor on the leather opposed with the smoothness of font type and the decoration made the simple but empathic charm.
I was so crazy about those shoes, really really want to have a pair ... and the hat, either.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with the amazingly talented, Ken Diamond in his Vancouver studio. Ken makes things out of leather, and he makes them all by hand! People are really buzzing about his work, and his moccasins were recently featured in Hobo Magazine.

One of the first things he showed me were the moccasins and as I ran my fingers over all the little details, I realised that the beauty of his leather work could only be fully appreciated in person. Sadly the internet is only optimized for two of the five senses, so your Ken Diamond experience is limited to the 20 or so photos I took during my visit.

Ken makes everything from belts to bicycle seats. Here’s an original design pressed right into the leather band on a great little hat for the rockabilly set.

A beautifully impolite drink coaster.

And a matching beer can sleeve. Love the detailing on the anchor.

Ken’s moccasins (this is the pair he actually wears) get better with age.

Creative Recreation x Ken Diamond. Somehow Creative Rec dropped the ball, and this amazing collaboration never saw the light of day (but Ken’s got the greenlight on a crazier project, and I’ll tell you all about it as soon as I’m allowed).
