Leather Embossing and Live Monogramming Activations

Studio Vittorelli brings a high-end, tactile experience directly to your event.

We are leather artisans. We handcraft every piece out of our San Francisco studio using premium Italian vegetable tanned leather. For activations, we bring our traditional brass hot-foil letterpress on site so each guest can experience their custom monogram debossed into the leather, live.

At your event we turn our handcrafted goods into personalized keepsakes in real time, through hot foil stamping or blind debossing. From intimate gatherings to our signature Bespoke Journal Bar, it is a sophisticated, interactive element your guests take home with them.

We set up our live embossing experience across the Bay Area, and travel throughout California including Southern California and the Central Coast. Events further afield are welcome, just ask!

WHY WORK WITH US...

  • Skilled Artisans. We are proudly woman owned and operated. When you book with us you work directly with the artisans who made your pieces. We handcraft everything in our studio, and we are the ones on site personalizing your gifts for your guests.
  • Seamless Experience.  We run a digital order system at the station. Guests scan a QR code, add their custom details and go back to enjoying themselves your event. Each piece is labelled as it is made, and guests are notified when theirs is ready, so no lines and no mix-ups.
  • Quality and Excellent Service Matter To Us.  Studio Vittorelli is led by founder Rae Vittorelli, the artist behind the pieces and the press. Visit our San Francisco showroom to see her work in person. We love what we craft and what we do, and it shows.

    ~In addition to our mobile event services, we offer nationwide corporate gifting and custom branding, including high-volume monogramming and logo debossing for executive gifts.

    *Custom embossing and debossing services are available on Studio Vittorelli premium leather goods only. We do not personalize outside items.

LIVE LEATHER EMBOSSING | San Francisco Bay Area

Live leather embossing and foil monogramming for corporate events, conferences, weddings and parties across the San Francisco Bay Area. Handcrafted in our studio, personalized on site in front of your guests.

How it works

We bring our traditional brass hot-foil letterpress to your venue. Each guest chooses their piece and their finish, gold foil, silver foil or a blind press, and watches their own monogram pressed into the leather, up to three letters. They take it home that day. All we need from you is a table, a chair and a standard outlet.

What makes this different

We make the products ourselves. Most live personalization vendors arrive with equipment and personalize imported blanks the client bought separately. Every piece here is cut, stitched and finished by hand in our North Beach studio in full-grain vegetable tanned Italian leather, and our founder is a trained jeweler and metalsmith who designs and casts our own hardware.

What guests take home

Refillable leather journals in several sizes, luggage tags, keychains, bag charms and catch-all trays, in your choice of leather colors. Your company logo can be pressed on every piece in advance, and guests still receive their own monogram on the night.

Where we work

Throughout the Bay Area, from Napa and Sonoma down through the Peninsula to Silicon Valley, and across California including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and the Central Coast. Corporate activations, conferences, executive dinners, holiday parties, store openings, team offsites, weddings and private parties.

Get in touch

Tell us your date, venue and guest count and we will send you options and pricing. We need two to three weeks' notice at a minimum, and longer for larger runs, because every piece is made by hand before your event. You are also welcome to visit the studio at 801 Columbus Avenue in North Beach, Fridays and Saturdays from 12 to 5pm.
