Personalising a gift sends a strong message to the recipient. It shows that you didn’t just drop in and buy something as an afterthought. You considered the right gift, and made it unique… just the like the person you are giving it to.
Durable and Long-lasting
Leather has been used for thousands of years because of its natural durability. High-quality leather is made to last and, with proper care, can sustain regular use for many years or even decades.
Versatile Usage
Leather is versatile and regularly used for diverse items like bags and cases, wallets, clothing, key fobs, journal covers, and luggage tags.
Style Statement
Classic and elegant, leather can elevate a casual look or augment something more formal.
Suitable for Various Occasions
Leather items make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, promotions, and just about any other celebration.
Compatibility with Other Brands
Leather notebook covers to suit a variety of notebook brands and standard sizes, phone cases are available for major brands and models of phone – and custom sizes might even be available.
Memorable Keepsake
Full grain leather develops a patina as it ages, highlighting the grain in the leather and maturing into a beautiful, rich, and unique look.
Eco-Friendly Choice
When ethically sourced, leather is a great alternative to some synthetic materials. Hides are a by-product; if they weren’t used for leather goods, they would go into landfills.
Endless Personalisation Options
Leather is easily Personalised with stamps or embossing of initials, names, or even a special sentiment.
How to Choose
Selecting the ideal gift can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. To make it an enjoyable and exciting activity, consider the following things to zero in on the perfect gift.
Type of Leather
Start by making sure that the right leather is used for the item you want.
Full-Grain
This is usually considered the highest quality of leather. It is the thickest and most durable, and develops a beautiful patina over time. If there is a downside, it is that it doesn’t take bright colours well, and is a bit heavier than less durable types.
Top-Grain
Still a high-quality type, top grain leather has a smooth surface and takes bright colours well. It is still quite durable and puts up well with moderate use.
Bonded Leather
The lower-budget option, this is made from leather scraps fused together. It is not as durable, and is almost always coloured, because it has no natural grain.
Faux/Vegan Leather
A non-leather alternative, this vegan product looks and feels similar to leather. It is not as durable, but does come at a lower price point.
Grain Quality
Full-grain leather shows the natural grain and unique marking of each hide used. It lasts longer than other leather types, and gets more beautiful over time.
Tanning Process
Chrome tanning is less eco-friendly than vegetable tanning, and is more easily dyed with bright colours. The process is a lot quicker and so it is therefore cheaper, too.
Vegetable tanning results in a better finish and a higher quality product, overall. It will age better too, with each item getting more beautiful as it develops its unique patina.
Where available, we recommend you choose vegetable tanning over chrome.
Thickness and Flexibility
Choose a thickness that suits the intended use of the item. A bookmark should be thin, a journal cover a bit thicker, and a belt quite thick and sturdy.
Fragrance
Real leather will have a distinct smell, especially when new. Though loved by aficionados, some do not care for it. If you (or the recipient) are in the latter group, don’t worry: the smell fades with time and use. Airing out when first purchased will speed up this process.
Craftsmanship & Origin
Items made in a certain place, or by a certain craftsperson, can give a gift an additional sense of value or specialness.
For example, choosing a bag made of Italian leather will have more perceived value than one made of leather from a different place, with a lesser tradition and reputation around leather treatments and production.
Personalisation Options
Consider adding a special touch to the gift by Personalising it with raised or stamped lettering or a special symbol, like a zodiac sign, a school mascot, or a business logo. Metal or glass objects can be engraved.
Design & Aesthetics
It is a good idea to match the look of the gift to the style of the person who is to receive it. Does the recipient have a minimalist style, a classic one, something flashier, or are they quirky? Choose a gift that suits their overall aesthetic.
colour Variations
Leather can come in natural finishes, or it can be coloured. Classic tones, like brown or black, are popular and go well with a wider range of clothing and situations.
Bolder colours, like red, green, blue, and so on, make a stronger fashion statement, but are more limited when it comes to complementing other clothing.
Size & Portability
Some people or situations are best served by a compact item, like a wallet, clutch, or small handbag, while a briefcase, tote, or messenger bag might better suit others.
Maintenance Needs
Different leather items may require different levels of maintenance too. Generally, leather goods require occasional wiping with a damp cloth to clean them, and leather conditioning once or twice per year.
Some finishes, such as suede, are more susceptible to damage. Consider the care the recipient is likely to be comfortable with.
Budget
How much do you want to spend on the gift? There are high quality gifts at a wide range of prices, but knowing what you want to spend will help you filter out the items that are not on your list.
Sustainability & Ethics
Do you, or the person you are buying for, want to ensure the item is eco-friendly, ethically sourced, or sustainable? This is a big consideration for many people; many leather products fit those criteria quite well.

Types
Within the category of leather gifts, there are several types that you can choose from. Let’s take a look.
Wallets & Billfolds
These come in bifold, trifold, and minimalist designs. If you can catch a look at the wallet the recipient is currently using, you’ll have an idea of the number of cards, cash, etc. the new wallet will have to hold.
Leather Journals & Planners
Journals or journal covers make a great gift and allow for a lower price point than many other items. Planners are also a good idea; they come in refillable versions to allow for use year after year.
These gifts lend themselves well to Personalisation through embossing, stamping, and custom colours to match a nation, sports team, university, or other institution.
Leather Cases (Phone, Tablet, Laptop)
Used frequently, and one of the best ways to elevate daily activities with a touch of Personalised elegance, a stylish leather phone, tablet, or laptop case can be a treasured gift. Easily Personalised, and always appreciated, this one is a surefire success.
Travel Accessories (Passport Holders, Luggage Tags)
For the travel enthusiast, smaller items such as passport holders and luggage tags are a budget-friendly way to elevate the travel experience – and they can add to the convenience and security of the traveler’s belongings.
Consider one of these items, or give a few of them together to make up a larger gift.
Leather Bags
The most luxurious option for a Personalised gift is a leather bag made from full-grain leather. The recipient will think you’ve gone above and beyond, and really appreciate the gesture. This is an excellent present for someone special or for a special occasion.
Alternatives
For certain conditions, leather might not be the best choice. Before deciding on it, consider a few situations in which an alternative material may work better.
Wet Environments
If the recipient is frequently in wet environments, such as rain, workplaces with sprayers, hoses, buckets of water, and similar hazards, a leather wallet might not be the best idea. Vegan leather, fabric, or cork might be a material to consider.
Vegan Contexts
If the one you’re buying for, or those in their immediate circle, feel strongly about avoiding the use of animal products, you may also want to consider alternate materials.
Environmental Priorities
This can be a tricky one. On the one hand, leather is a byproduct of the very large meat industry, and so it is environmentally friendly by using up materials that would otherwise be put in landfills.
They also last a long time, which is excellent for environmental concerns. You may want to give this gift along with some explanation on why and how it is a good environmental choice.
You will also want to avoid chrome-tanned items, opting instead for items with our eco-friendly badge, which are vegetable-tanned and sourced from companies with similar desires to be sustainable and ethical in the production of these products.
Type of Personalisation
If you are concerned about putting someone’s name on an item, for security reasons, consider alternate types of Personalisation. You could put initials on luggage tags, or a discreet phone number so you can be contacted in case of loss.
A journal cover could include a zodiac sign, a university logo or mascot, or a cherished saying or inside joke. Personalisation needn’t be the usual “name or initials;” let your imagination flow and you might find an alternative that makes the gift even more special than a name would.
Post Purchase Considerations
Ensuring the Right Personalisation
Check and double-check any written Personalisation before ordering. Our minds can play tricks on us of we know what something is supposed to say, so get someone else to look at it too – they may spot something you’ve overlooked.
Variation in Leather Appearance
Leather is a natural material, and finishes vary. Each item is unique; therefore, some differences will occur even after the same treatment. This is to be expected and celebrated. In the world of mass production, a little something special can be a welcome thing.
Durability of Personalisation
At Von Baer, we use the best techniques for engraving and embossing to ensure that the Personalisation, like the gift itself, will endure for many years of use and appreciation.
Matching Personalisation Style with the Item
Sometimes a busy Personalisation can mar a minimalist design, or a subtle Personalisation gets lost in an item with bold design features.
Spend some time with our style guide, and feel free to consult with our customer service team to ensure the Personalisation is a good fit with the item itself.
Timelines for Delivery
We work hard to get your item out to delivery as soon as possible, but Personalisation takes additional time, as does shipping across borders or during busy seasons of the year. To ensure the item gets to its destination on time, check delivery time estimates before placing an order. Of course, shopping early is always a good solution, and we offer expedited shipping if you do run a little behind schedule.
Product Care and Maintenance
It is a good idea to read through the guidance on cleaning and care of the item you are giving. Many people purchase a care item – such as leather conditioner – to include with the gift itself. This encourages a good start on caring for the item, ensuring a longer usable life and lasting beauty.
