What Makes It Uncommon

Daily Dose

Whoever first said Reality is overrated must’ve been a voracious reader. For all those who love to escape into literary adventure, Jaime Esslinger and Michael Smith’s lighthearted bookmark will tell the world how you really feel. Slide it onto the page and it’ll point right to the line where you left off, while the magnetic closure ensures that it stays put. A bibliophile’s motto of A book a day keeps reality away is embossed on the faux-leather shell, which is soft and smooth so it won’t damage the paper. When you’re in a more down-to-earth mood, this placeholder will also get the job done in a cookbook, textbook, or journal, until you’re ready to get lost in make-believe all over again. Made in New Jersey.

New Jersey

Jamie Esslinger and Michael Smith are lifelong makers. Mike’s grandfather schooled him in traditional woodworking in his basement shop in Philadelphia. Jaime, a self-taught sewist, absorbs knowledge wherever it can be found. Both believe that working with your hands fulfills a basic human need, and are happiest when they’re covered in paint and sawdust. When they launched their own business, their goal was to leave hectic commutes and cubicles behind, and spend their days doing what they love. Everything they make is the result of hundreds of hours of trial and error, the accumulated knowledge of generations, mistakes, frustration, creativity, and thoughtfulness. They infuse love and care into each item they make, as it is these items that have made it possible for them to live the life they always dreamed of.
