This is my journal.
I just closed my gallery, packed up my leather studio, and moved my life from the Central Coast of California to Brookllyn, NY to pursue my independent art career.
Follow my process here.
Functional. Artisanal. Enduring.
Maven is an independent, Nature-inspired label based in Brooklyn, New York with Maine and California roots.
Designs are made one-by-one from sustainable American buffalo leathers, steeped in natural character and authenticity.
Each piece is adorned by founder, Emma Thieme, with intuitive stitchwork, meant to represent you as an individual. Natural plant and insect dyeing is incorporated into the work whenever possible.
