Brand Focus: Product Meetings with Faire

Designs. Quantity. Measurements. Colours. Fulfilment.

These are just a few of the many terms being thrown across the meeting room during every product meeting. We do our product meetings in the design room that James (Joe’s dad) does his works in.

There Aren’t Many Leather Tech Organizers Like Ours

Do you sometimes need to charge your phone on the go, listen to music when you’re travelling, reach for your business cards when you meet a client or simply need a pen to jot something down? If so, a leather tech organizer might just be the thing for you.

Insight: Here’s How To Travel Smart

We all know how airplane seats can get uncomfortable at times.  Unless you’re flying business or first class, you usually don’t have much room to place your things (or your legs) – with the exception of the overhead luggage compartment and that compartment at the back of the seat in front of you.

Ways of Using the Specter Cardholder with Lanyard

The Cardholder with Lanyard was originally a product we developed for Tocco Toscano and was designed to allow people to (fashionably) have their staff access or other relevant cards hung around their neck. eg. stored-value public transport cards, office/condo access cards etc) so they did not have to fumble about in their bags or wallets for them.

Our Work Culture

One of things I got down to doing before we got started proper was to develop a brand guide. This document would serve anyone that joins us not just to know what the design guidelines are, but to also understand what the brand means on every aspect.

Trade Faire

As an online brand, one of the more common queries we receive have always been whether our product can be seen anywhere in a physical store; if they can touch it, feel it or see it first before committing to a purchase.

Packaging An Experience

So obviously before we even thought of the product, we thought of the brand name, and what kind of brand we wanted Faire Leather Co. to be - which is why I say we had to go through such a long period of pre-planning for a lot of things when we first started.

When we decided that Kickstarter was going to be best way, everything happened so quickly because we were in such a rush. Fast forward and we’re here, with 2017 coming to a close, and just 6 days before our campaign ends.

A History of Quality – Tocco Toscano

Faire Leather Co. is co-owned by the Y Ventures Group (a data analysis driven e-commerce retailer and distributor recently listed on the SGX-ST) and Tocco Toscano, an Italian leather goods label that is now owned and operated by my family. I started working for my father 8 years ago and we have had many work-related disagreements over the years, but I have always respected my father for his creativity and work ethic.
