The art of personalising Ettinger leather gifts

Adding initials to a finished product requires a lot of skill and experience and consists of heating some special brass blocking dies before applying onto the leather goods with blind emboss (no foil) some gold or silver foil. This is therefore done by our best craftsperson to guarantee the best results. The special set of characters that we use were commissioned especially by us in a unique and highly elegant style and we currently can add up to 5 characters per leather item. Ettinger takes great care to block initials by hand, with each custom letter set adjusted individually to ensure the spacing achieves just the right balance and the emboss remains crisp and delicate.
