Repurposed Leather Never Looked Better

Gillian Stevens' hand-pressed leather goods are unconventional, but sophisticated

Dewdrop Designs started six years ago in Charlotte when stay-at-home mom Gillian Stevens hand-pressed the exact stationery she couldn’t find at stores—
unconventional, but classic. Then, Stevens applied the same look to repurposed leather, creating impressionable desk blotters and passport covers, plus sophisticated iPad and Kindle sleeves. Now that Dewdrop has developed a national fan base—including Martha Stewart—what’s next? Reversible laptop covers, which debut this fall. Accessories (starting at $45) are available online and at Luxe Home Couture.
