Our bespoke monograms always begin with pencil sketches, the old fashioned way. Once approved, the monogram is etched and engraved, by hand, onto a 1/2″ thick steel die. This is then press proofed to check for accuracy. Sometimes, we press proof on the client’s chosen paper—or papers—in various inks. This provides accurate color combination choices. We also offer custom-fitted stationery suite cases that hold individual client’s unique set of letter paper. Follow us on Instagram for more photos. Inquiries?
