Initials, embossing, made yours

Personalised leather goods, made unmistakably yours.

Your initials, your leather, your colour, pressed and stitched into a piece by hand. Personalisation at the atelier is a quiet mark, never a loud logo.

No one else carries this one

A quiet mark, not a loud logo.

Personalisation here is not a sticker or a stamped-on brand. It is your initials, blind-embossed into full-grain leather, in the colour and the piece you choose.

It is the same idea behind The Jugs and your initials: no one is you, and a piece made for one person should look like it. Browse the specialty pieces or talk to us about something of your own.

Four flat Safiera water bottles in leather sleeves, each embossed with different initials: RT, MF, CG and WA
What makes it personal

Yours, down to the stitch.

  • Your initials, blind-embossed

    Pressed into the leather by hand, in the same tone as the hide. A mark you feel more than you see, with no ink and no plastic.

  • Your leather, your colour

    You choose the full-grain hide and the shade; we match the thread and the finish so the whole piece reads as one.

  • Saddle-stitched by hand

    The same hand-stitching we use on the bags, so a small piece lasts every bit as long as a large one.

  • Made to order in Holland

    Each piece is made for one person at our bench in the Netherlands, never pulled from a shelf.

Good to know

Personalised leather goods, answered.

What can you personalise?

Most of our pieces: cardholders and small leather goods, the bags, and The Jugs. If you have something specific in mind, ask and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

How are the initials applied?

We blind-emboss them by hand. The letters are pressed into the leather in the same tone, so the mark is subtle, tactile and permanent. There is no ink and no plastic plate.

How many letters can I have?

Two or three initials usually sit best, but tell us what you would like and we will advise on what suits the piece and the leather.

Can I choose the leather and the colour?

Yes. You choose the full-grain hide and the shade, and we match the thread and the finish to it.

How long does a personalised piece take?

Personalised pieces are made to order, usually within a few weeks depending on the item. We confirm the timing before we begin.

Does personalisation cost extra?

For most pieces, adding your initials is a small extra we will quote up front, so there are no surprises.

A line about the piece you have in mind and the letters you would like is enough to begin. Every message is answered personally.
