Custom UGG Design Created for A Client in Wisconsin

November 12, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Custom UGG design is a new leather design trend we’ve definitely had a lot of fun with recently specifically for a client in Wisconsin. When Jessica read our Facebook page and found we could use our pyrography and leather debossing skills to design wildflowers on her UGG® boots, she immediately sent her boots to us in Atlanta.

We were able to design the UGG boots after consulting with her on the design she wanted. We then took a pyrography pen and set it at the highest setting and went to work. The design took about an hour to create. We were inspired by photographs online and also coloring book designs.

Burning in the design creates a “tattoo” on the UGGs that lasts forever and will not wear off with time under normal use and care. The design won’t rub off and becomes a permanent image on the boots.

Jessica’s custom designed UGGs turned out even better than she imagined. Jessica was so happy with the final design she sent us a picture of her wearing them on the first day after she received them back from our team.

She was so happy, she took the time to leave us a 5-Star review on Google. The review can be read below.

The best thing about our custom UGG design service is we can perform this design service virtually anywhere. We have recently been invited by Dillard’s in Atlanta to custom design UGGs on the spot for customers at in store events this holiday season. Check out our calendar for the latest in-store events near you! If you’re interested in custom UGG design or having us create designs at your next event, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to come out and make your UGG boots truly one of a kind!

Whiskey Glass Engraving at the Savannah Food and Wine Festival

November 8, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Whisky glass engraving was a well received addition to the Whiskey at the Whitman event sponsored by the Savannah Food and Wine Festival this year. The Whitman is a mansion in the historical Victorian District in Savannah, Georgia. It has been remodeled and restored entirely from the ground up into a beautiful event venue. We are actually engraving in the picture below on the top veranda on the top right corner of the picture. See the bright light? That’s our engraving light shining on all the whiskey glasses!

The Whiskey at the Whitman event featured whiskey, beer and wine from Georgia distilleries, breweries and wineries exclusively for the guests to enjoy. Each guest received a Glencairn whiskey glass specifically for the whiskey glass engraving activation we put together for the event. Wine drinkers were given commemorative wine glasses.

There were also at least 12 different local chefs featured who created food for guests on site including smoked salmon, pork belly, beef belly, grit and lemon eclairs. The 5-star menu was amazing!

Guests traveled to Savannah from as far as Canada, Britain and even Australia to participate at the Whiskey at the Whitman exclusive event.

Our table was set up outside and everyone enjoyed the beautiful Fall night air as we engraved our guests whiskey glasses for four hours straight. This was our first year participating at the Savannah Food and Wine Festival and we were honored to be asked.

We also engraved wine glasses for the guests who chose not to drink whiskey. Everyone went home with an engraved glass of some type. Guests stood in line from the very beginning of the event to the very end.

We look forward to participating in the whiskey glass engraving event again next year and for many years to come!

If you are interested in having us engrave glasses at your next event, we’d love to join you! Please contact us at 833 465 9311.

Perfume Engraving Season Begins at Dillard’s Scentsational Events

November 5, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Perfume engraving events are one of our many specialties around the holiday season. This year, we are working with Dillard’s in Georgia to engrave perfume and cologne bottles at many of their Scentsational Events around Atlanta. This is our second season working with Dillard’s at these perfume engraving events and we were so honored to be asked back this year.

Our engraving was so popular, we had over 30 pre-ordered bottles ready and waiting for us at the Arbor Place Dillard’s this past week. Customers love watching the engraving happen right in front of them. We’ve been deemed the “fastest engravers in the South” by many customers and clients so it doesn’t take long to engrave a bottle. Our customers don’t have to wait for the results because we don’t have to do any fancy layout beforehand. They see their bottles created within one minute because our engravers have the experience and skills needed to do the job right the first time. We didn’t make one mistake on any of the over 60 bottles we engraved!

Dillard’s loves having this experiential marketing activation (the fancy name for perfume engraving event) because customers typically buy more bottles of perfume the day we’re in the stores. They are beautiful gifts that last forever, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries and the upcoming holiday season.

Dillard’s Scentsational Events will be held all around Georgia over the next 30 days. Here are some examples of perfume bottles we engraved for customers.

We will also be working for Christian Dior every Saturday in December at Macy’s stores around Atlanta, Georgia. Please look at our event calendar to find where we’ll be engraving perfume and cologne next.

If you have a luxury fragrance brand or store you’d love to see us in, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to meet you and work together. We travel all around the country with our engraving machines so there are no limits to where we can work.

Custom Leather Dog Collars at Lexus Fur Ball Howling Good Time

October 23, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Custom leather dog collars were the “must have item” at the Columbia, South Carolina Fur Ball event sponsored by Jim Hudson Lexus. The event was held to benefit the Pawmetto Animal Shelter. The shelter is a no-kill shelter for animals in the Columbia area. It takes over one million dollars to keep the shelter up and running each year.

Our Chief Embossing Officer, Desiree Colonna, manned the embossing machine for four hours straight with no breaks. Desiree stated, “Embossing leather is something I love to do, especially when I see the reaction of the customer. They absolutely loved these leather dog collars and couldn’t wait to take them home to their dogs!”

The collars were provided by Mel Boteri, a handbag designer in Atlanta who had them pre-stamped with the Lexus logo. Desiree added the dog’s name on the custom leather dog collars in front of customers at her booth in gold or silver foil. There was also the option of no foil, just debossed with no color.

We knew the custom leather dog collars were going to be big hit when we realized the line for the dog collars was longer than both the lines for the food table and bar!

Attendees of all ages love the dog collars. It was fun to watch everyone show off their special gifts around the room as the night went on. The collars were so popular, the booth started running out of sizes. All in all, 250 collars were embossed throughout the night.

The night was filled with music, great food and dancing. Guests all had a lovely time and enjoyed the event from start to finish. Our custom leather dog collars at the Lexus station were icing on the cake and a great memory of a beautiful night.

The best feedback we received was in an email the next day from the dogs of one of the attendees. They wrote, “Thank you for our new collars with our names on them. Mom told us how long and hard you worked at the Fur Ball. Doggie licks and hugs, Sophie and Rusty.”

If you have an event you’d like us to attend and emboss leather items, we’d love to work with you! We can also engrave, embroider and create calligraphy on site anywhere in the world. Please contact us at 833 465 9311 or see our event page for more details.

Leather Patch Monogramming Event for Levi’s Grand Opening Huge Success

October 21, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Leather patch monogramming is the hot new trend that is taking off at events worldwide. When you add this service a live event, it’s almost guaranteed to be a huge success.

When the marketing company, MKTG in San Francisco, reached out to us in September, they were looking for a unique experience for their client, Levi Strauss®. Levi’s was having a grand opening in Plano, Texas in October. They wanted patches embossed and monogrammed in front of the customer. Their in-house tailor would then sew them on anything denim they bought at the store. We worked with local Atlanta company InTandem Promotions to create a unique patch for the event which we could also monogram right in front of customers. Shoppers loved this unique and personal service and couldn’t wait to see the final design.

We agreed to fly from Atlanta to Plano for the event to create a leather patch monogramming experience their clients would never forget. We are able to fly all over the world with our leather embossing and engraving equipment to both engrave and emboss items for companies worldwide. All we need is a table and a couple chairs next to an electrical outlet.

Our CEO, Desiree Colonna, is also our Chief Embossing Officer. She was able to go to the event and emboss over 250 leather patches in 4 hours. That’s exactly 1 patch per minute!

Customers loved the experience and stood in line waiting to get patches for themselves, friends and loved ones.

The event was so popular, we’ve been booked in January for another event for Levi’s with more events to come in 2018. Check our calendar for more information and for our latest events.

We look forward to bringing this unique experiential marketing event to more companies around the world and we’re so thankful to MKTG and Levi’s for having us in Plano this week. Next stop? Columbia, South Carolina for an event for Lexus where we will emboss animal collars at the Fur Ball! Watch the blog for pictures and a story from that event soon.

If you’re interested in booking us for your next event please see this page for details or call us at 833 465 9311.

Personalized Executive Gifts Debossed for International Association of Flight and Critical Care Paramedics

October 14, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Personalized executive gifts for a corporate convention are one of our specialities. However, a leather embossed pulaski cover is something very unique. A pulaski cover is the leather sheath used to protect axes used by firefighters and paramedics.

When the International Associate of Flight and Critical Care Paramedics (IAFCCP) contacted us about embossing the leather axe cover, we were very excited to create something unique and different. They wanted the cover of a pulaski axe debossed with their logo. (Debossing means imprinting the logo without any foil or extra color. The die simply presses right into the leather and creates an impression.) This presented a challenge because the leather item was a very odd shape. There was also a snap in the way of the machine head. However, we are always up for a good challenge so we took it on!

We were able to order the logo die for them and create one-0f-a-kind personalized executive gifts for a convention. The real trick was the convention was within a two week period and they needed the cover within that short timeframe.

Not only were we able to deboss this leather executive gift, we were able to beat their timeframe and they received it days before the convention.

As you can see, their logo debossed beautifully into the leather pulaski cover and created a very unique executive gift for their convention. They were extremely happy with our work and are looking forward to working with us again in the future.

If you are under a strict timeframe and have any personalized executive gifts you want to emboss or deboss, we hope you’ll give us a call at 770 509 8797. We can usually turn items around within a 48 hour time period. We’d love to work with you. Please keep in mind holiday times are very busy so the sooner you create your order, the better. We look forward to hearing from you!
