It's been a little while, and I've been meaning to write.
The last time I did, I was standing on the edge of something new. Rustic Wren was about to move into its own space in Lobethal, and honestly, I wasn't entirely sure what it would feel like on the other side.
Five weeks in, I can tell you.
It feels better than I imagined.
There's a quiet that comes with having your own space, and then there's the other thing. The thing I didn't expect. The energy. I'm making more, thinking bigger, and genuinely excited to come in every single day.
The new studio isn't just a workspace
It's a place I want to share with you.
Workshops are coming. I can't wait to have you in here, hands on leather, making something of your own. More details soon but mark it in your mind.
The shop and studio is open Thursday through Saturday if you want to come in before then. Feel the leathers. See where everything is made. No pressure, just come and say hello.
The new shop address is 14a Main Street, Lobethal, South Australia.
And the website never closed.
Where I'd start
If you've been thinking about a Rustic Wren piece, or gifting one, the Curator's Companion Bundle is where I'd start. It's our most complete setup: the Curator notebook paired with a Leather Companion, in your choice of leather. Refillable, lasting, made to be used every single day.
The combination our customers reach for most is Rustic Whiskey with Worn Saddle. Once you see them together, it's hard to choose anything else.
It's the one I'd give someone I wanted to keep.

Thank you for staying with me through the move, the quiet, and whatever comes next.
Warmly, Jess
Founder & Leather Architect
