We are often asked what “title page personalization” means on our order form.

The first page of each of our custom leather journals is what we consider a “title page”.  In our standard custom leather journals, the title page looks like this:

(Please note, this is a low resolution image and may look a little blurry due to the low resolution)

The top lines on the title page say (in smaller lettering)  “This Legacy Journal was custom created for”

The center text (shown in red on the above image for easy reference.  In our custom leather journals, it is the same color as the rest of the text on the page) is where your Title Page Personalization will appear.

The bottom text (again in smaller lettering) says “Created on” and gives the date the custom leather journal was created (noted in red text, but, is the same color as the rest of the text on a standard, printed title page in your custom leather journal).

Our special interest custom leather journals have a slightly different title page.  Each special interest journal’s title page is a little different from the rest (depending on the special interest chosen).  In general, they are formatted like this:

As you can see from the above (low resolution) image, the title page personalization (the recipient’s name) is positioned in the bottom area of the page.  The “standard” bottom text says “Custom Created for” on the first line, the second line is the recipient’s name (or the title page personalization you give us), and the third line is the date the specialty custom leather journal was created.

We are often asked what the difference is between monogram personalization and standard personalization.  The best way to answer that question is to *show* you while we explain it.

Monogram personalization:  Monogram personalization consists of 3 interlocking letters - with the center (2nd) letter being larger than the other two letters.  When we receive an order requesting monogram personalization, the letters should be arranged as follows:

• First letter = first name initial
• Second letter = last name initial
• Third letter = Middle name initial

As an example, our lead artist, Dee A. Phipps, would enter her monogram personalization as:  DPA

That would result in a monogram (monograms vary slightly depending on the lettering style chosen and the letters involved) like this:

Using the same name as an example….if you selected standard personalization, and chose to simply put the initials on the cover they would be entered:  DAP (or D. A. P., if you wanted to use the periods after each letter).  So, the initials would be entered as:

• First Letter:  First name initial
• Second Letter:  Middle name initial
• Third Letter:  Last name initial

The standard personalization (using the same name & lettering style for your comparison) would look something like this:

In summary….

• Monogram personalization is 3 interlocking letters arranged in the first initial, last initial, middle initial configuration (make sure to enter the letters in the correct order!  We will use the center letter you entered as the center/larger letter in the monogram).
• Standard personalization can be initials, but does not need to be.  They are not interlocking letters.  As with the monogram personalization, we personalize the item with the personalization as you enter it on the order form.

After many special requests, we have decided to offer a great new option on all of our products, and also introduce a new line of Signature products featuring this new option.

Hair on hides, as the name implies, are animal hides which have not been de-haired….relying on the natural beauty of the natural pattern of various hides to make a profound and unique statement.

We have 7 different hide styles/patterns available at this time - from our designer signature cow hides in exotic patterns such as zebra, leopard, tiger, and acid wash zebra…to more traditional signature cow hides in black and white, brown and white, or brindle patterns. To make it even more interesting, we have also chosen two acid wash “colored” hair on calfskins (pink and turquoise), and a sprinkbok (African gazelle) hides.

These signature hair on hides will be standard on our new signature series custom leather products, but, may also be used on any of our products for an additional charge.

As always, we will still be able to personalize and customize every product that we offer in the signature series - the difference being the personalization and customization on our signature series exotic custom leather products is on the interior instead of the exterior of the product.
