It started with a date.
November the fourth is our son's birthday. It's the day everything rearranged itself around one small person, and it's the name above our workshop door.
A birthday, a workshop, and a name.
Everyone has a date like ours. A birthday, a wedding, the day you met, the day someone left. Dates that don't need a calendar because you carry them anyway.
We started November Fourth to give those dates somewhere to live. Something you can hold, hang, or hand down. Not printed, not mass-made, but engraved to order, one at a time, by people who read every word before it goes on.
We don't make gifts. We make places to keep the dates that made you.
November FourthSlow where it matters.
The materials
Oak, real leaves and pieces built to last longer than the packaging.
The engraving
Your words are checked, set and engraved exactly as you wrote them. If something looks off, we'll ask before we cut.
The finish
Finished, wrapped and sent tracked. Most orders leave us the next working day.
Made in the Black Country.
A region built on making things properly. We're a small team, crafting every order by hand and by eye.
