It's been awhile since I've been privy to new content coming out of Grain & Gram but I'm totally okay with that - content of such intriguing quality should come slowly. Definitely makes it easier to digest and it takes time to make a fine product. The latest profile is on Jason Gregory of MAKR Carry Goods. Like all of the G&G interviews, the end product from the designers is not as important as the process getting there.

Having the liberty to create absolutely anything you want is what every designer wants, but it's also quite daunting. To wrap my head around this, I created my own parameters to work within: the locality of production, the feel and texture of materials, the limitations of my factories — all of these things play into the vision of Makr.

It's also worth noting that Makr is based out of Orlando, FL - probably not one of the first places you'd assume a high end leather shop would be. If the product or the process aren't inspiring (they should be) then maybe the location will be.

Phenomenal work as usual... be sure to watch the video as well.
