This time it’s personal – the best leather customisation

30th June 2020

 

Check out our roundup of the very best leather customisation services.

Leather has always been the choice of the individual – it is the perfect material for those in search of the totally original.  And while anything made of leather will age in its own, unique way, there are ways to make your shoes, jacket or luggage completely personal from the get go. From bespoke jackets to monogrammed phone cases to handmade board games, we have found the leather product for you – and for you alone!

There is only one possible downside to leather customisation – it might make your leather piece a little more difficult to sell on. But then again, why would you want to? Leather is for keeps, due to its durability and timeless style.

Here is our pick of seven of the finest leather customisation services. The only limits to what designs you have, and where you have them, are your bank balance and your imagination.

  1. Jeffery West, purveyor of high-end funky footwear, employs artist Aasen Stephenson to engrave shoes. He’ll render a choice of designs, your initials, or your full name.

  1. Canadian fashion label Namesake helps you create your own bespoke leather jacket. Choose the base fabric and colour then specify details including lining colours, belt and collar styles, and studs. You can add fur details and to cap it all you’ll get your own monogrammed tag in the jacket. The company will even send you leather swatches, studs and zips so you can get a feel for your design before it’s made.

  1. Chaos, the online accessory store, will personalise most things it sells. Its craftsmen will monogram handbags, phone cases, charger tidies and most other accessories you can think of. And they’ll do it all on gorgeous calfskin leather.

  1. If you want to go ultra-lux, Louis Vuitton is where it’s at. You can get all your favourite bags and luggage hand-monogrammed. And if you’re worried about your suitcase being lost on the airport carousel in a sea of similar LV products, you can also get stripes added in the colours of your choice!

  1. Oliver Sweeney has a super cool tattoo service for its stylish leather shoes. Though this might sound like a gimmick, it is actually a brilliant way to create something truly individual. The resident tattooist uses a needle gun and ink to add anything from initials to bespoke illustrations and designs. The best results can be seen on tan leather.
