Personalization Guide: Monogramming & Hot Stamping Explained
Quick answer: Hedonist Chicago personalization is free and available on wallets, belts and handmade goods, with up to 40 characters including spaces. Choose hot stamping with no foil, or gold, silver, black or white foil. It is permanent, and personalized items are final sale. Personalized orders usually ship the next business day, and always within 2 business days. Watch bands cannot be personalized.
Options
| Option | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hot stamping, no foil | Debossed, tone-on-tone | Understated monograms |
| Foil stamping (gold, silver, black or white) | Debossed with colored foil | Gifts, higher contrast |
Both methods press the text into the leather, so it cannot be removed. Choose a foil color that contrasts with your leather: gold or white on dark leather, black or silver on light.
