“Character isn't made by machine.”

Rarely is there a brand that believes in quality in such an impactful and meaningful way. Makers Mark is our gold standard of quality, and this fall we had the chance to further this cherished relationship. Not only because we love whiskey, but because we love their whiskey.


With the Makers Mark tradition still standing of hand dipping each bottle, we were able to include each guest of our DC show in the hand dipping of a complimentary Makers glasses.




Witnessing this timeless act and then walking away with something so tangible was an experience we were proud to offer. Our AF Markets are not only places to shop, we want

people to feel like they genuinely walked away from a positive, creative, and collaborative experience.

This is why we try to jam pack out Market with things you can only do with AF. Have you ever hand stamped your initials into a new piece of leather?


Come hang out with us for an hour, and you can.



We invited our long time favorite,

Popular Mechanics back to show us all the ropes,

and they came to impress.


Their leather stamping station was not only

a huge fan favorite, but an experience you

just don’t usually get access to.


Guests were able to shop some of the highest quality leather brands and then customize each product themselves.

When talking about experiences at AF, you can’t forget to mention the amazing tasting options we get to offer.


We partner with local staples in the community like Devils’ Backbone Brewery, Coney Island Beer, Table 87,

and Ends Meat to offer you food and beverage tastings from your favorite places.



We want AF to be a combination of all of your favorite things.


You brought your friends, families, stories and passions into our Market, and we want just want to share a few of ours.
