What IS RUle No. 8?”


The Rule? We can’t tell you that. Kinda like fight club, only slightly less violent.

The business started in a cozy 800sqft studio hidden within the Russell Industrial Center in Detroit. After 4 years of growth and a lot of learning, we’ve since moved on up (north a bit) to an airy 1200sqft studio in Rochester. We specialize in custom foil stamping of journals, notepads and stationery as well as hand-crafting an increasingly large variety of premium leather goods. We also really like weird, one-off jobs so if you have an oddball idea please drop us a line, we’d love to bring it to life!

Debossing

Ben - Owner and Designer

With a weird background graphic design, fabrication, and printing, Ben is RN8’s guy behind the leather shop and foil debossing work…. and also photography, social media and any business-related correspondence. Basically, if you are unhappy with anything, Ben is likely responsible for it.
But it’s cool, he’ll fix it.

Krista - Assistant and Graphic Design Muscle

Krista is so good at what she does we can’t even afford to hire her full-time. When she’s not busy with her day job as a User Interface Designer she can sometimes be found pulling our butts out of the fire on particularly large orders and filling in where needed.

Leatherworks

Indy - Puplic Relations Officer

She cuts productivity by about 30% and fills the studio with fur but she’s cute and clears every product with a sniff test before shipping. That’s a fair trade, right?
