“Solid materials, simple designs, assembled well, ready to use.” - The Shop 13’s Product Philosophy

Here’s the philosophy in a nutshell: solid materials, simple designs, assembled well, ready to use.

Seems simple enough, right?

Yeah, I’m not the only one producing that kind of material, but The Shop 13 has a focus on producing the kind of goods you want to use, not just admire, designed in particular for those who embrace anachronisms. I almost want to use the phrase “urban/modern rustic,” but it makes me a touch queasy to embed such silly language in this message.

Goods from The Shop 13 should make life a little better and easier for you. Perhaps you’ll finally have a place to put your odds and ends. Maybe a minimalist wallet that isn’t too minimal will help you reduce the clutter in your wallet while still accommodating your three credit cards (two personal and one for business) and make you feel a little less like George Costanza.

And, most of all, your pieces from The Shop 13 are built in a way that begs for them to be beat up - no need to be precious with them.
