Who We Are

Riveted By Design is a family operated business, Stephanie and Sean are the makers. Married in August 2018, our wedding was our first big creative project together.

Our leather journals and accessories are made by hand, by us. We take the time to measure, cut, stitch, rivet and embellish with thoughtfulness and care. We are mindful of the way we use our resources - we aim to minimize waste and find innovative ways to repurpose scraps.

We're drawn to an aesthetic that echoes nature. Working primarily with leather, we appreciate and celebrate the natural flaws found on a rugged hide. We use leather to create our hand bound diaries and keepsake journals because of its natural beauty and durability. We enjoy working with our hands to bring new life to leather and to shape the rough edges into a functional, stylish, enduring piece.

Our mission is to provide heirloom quality bound books and create spaces that help our customers mark special occasions and rites of passage, tell intergenerational stories, express themselves artistically, and create lasting memories.
