About Leather & Accessory Personalization
Why I Do This
Personalizing leather and accessories is more than a job for me—it's a part of who I am. I love turning everyday stuff into keepsakes that actually mean something. There’s a special kind of joy in seeing someone’s reaction when they get an item with their name or a little doodle just for them.
How I Work My Magic
I mostly use two techniques:
- Hot Foiling: Shiny metallic foil gets pressed into leather for a permanent, elegant finish. It looks especially stunning on wallets and diaries.
- Paint Pen Calligraphy: I hand-letter your name or design right onto your item using special pens. The process is tricky—needs a steady hand and patience. I seal the design so it lasts, even with regular use.
What I Can Personalize
- Leather goods: wallets, diaries, luggage tags (from Nappa Dori to 120+ diaries for LinkedIn events)
- Bags & totes: names or little designs on leather handles, canvas bags
- Jewellery or vanity cases: names with floral art, fun doodles (like hearts or lipstick) for brands like MAC
- Hand fans, quirky requests—I'm always up for a creative challenge
Special Occasions
My personalization service fits live events (store launches, weddings, corporate gifting) and makes gifts unforgettable—a simple wallet or diary becomes a cherished keepsake with initials or a message. I’ve done everything from 350+ lemon luggage tags for a wedding (marakkuma nenjam - my heart won’t forget) to interactive event setups.
The Real Deal
Whether it’s custom leather wallet engraving or hand-painted accessory personalization, I put my heart into every piece. I’m always open to ideas, but I’ll be honest—paint pen calligraphy on leather can be tough, especially with tricky surfaces and tight deadlines. Still, I love a challenge and promise to treat your item like it’s my own.
If you want something that feels truly yours, I’m here for it.
