Pictavia Leather (I'm rebranding)

[Dreadhead]

Big announcement time for those who know me or my work.

The time has come for my business to grow and adapt to the path I am on, and so I will soon be rebranding as Pictavia Leather.
Over the last few years i have pursued historic leatherworking more and more, and am always delving into anything Pictish or Scottish history based.

Pictavia is another name for Pictland (early medieval Scotland) and as the foremost Pictish leatherworker in the land this will suit me much better

The new logo I have designed is blend between a medieval leatherworkers head knife and a Pictish Crescent Vrod symbol.

Half Goat has served me well (especially since I came up with it when this was just a hobby to pass the time) but it doesn't reflect my focus anymore. This new direction is the right way onwards and upwards for me and my business.

So over the next few months you can expect to see a lot of Pictavia Leather promotion, giveaways, and videos. I'll slowly transition things over as I go to keep folk in the loop.

Don't worry, I'll still be making all the same things like viking and bushcraft gear, it will just have a different logo on it

A massive thanks to all those who have and continue to support me and my business, love and peace

Looks good Hamish. It's always a difficult job to rebrand a company; it can take a lot more effort (and money) than people realize (I've done it a couple of times) but in your 'niche' hopefully you'll cover your market quite quickly.

Good luck

'Half Goat' leather items are obviously going to become rare and collector's items

Whatever you end up calling it, the quality of the goods will be second to none.

Love the new design. All the best for the future Hamish.

In my minds eye I see the new logo as a world wide recognizable brand- along the lines of ‘mont blanc’ I think it looks that good.

Would also look good on the headrest in a hand stitched Bentley/ Aston interior

thanks for the continued support folks Always got to be moving, hopefully mostly forwards

I think I'm finally getting there now everything has switched over

Got some new shirts and the new makers mark arrived yesterday, very crisp considering its smaller than a penny

Thanks to everyone showing support

Looking good, why is the stamp so small out of interest ?

 

[John Fenna]

Very smart!

I like to put my mark in a non obvious place so it doesn't ruin the aesthetic so a small stamp is handy for popping into small spaces out the way

Ah right got you

I may be mistaken, but I spent the last 32 years looking at that view.
