Custom Leather Engraving Service — Names or Initials
Pickup currently not available
Want to personalise a leather item with a name or initials?
We offer a handcrafted engraving service exclusively at our Lisbon atelier. Bring your item — such as a wallet, passport cover or keyring — and we will assess it on site to confirm whether it can be engraved safely and to a high standard.
How it works
- Visit our Lisbon atelier by appointment.
- We assess the item and confirm whether engraving is suitable.
- If approved, we engrave it by hand with care.
- Collect it the same day when possible, or arrange a later collection.
What you can engrave
- Initials (e.g. M.J.)
- Short names (e.g. Tiago)
- Short words (e.g. Love, Faith, Gratitude)
Character limit
Up to 10 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Available finishes
- Gold
- Silver
- Blind embossing — no colour, relief only
In-person service
This service is available in person only at our Lisbon studio. We need to assess the leather and the condition of the item before confirming the engraving.
We do not accept items by post.
Turnaround
Depending on our workload, engraving may be completed on the spot or within 48 working hours.
Important notes
- We accept genuine leather only.
- We cannot guarantee engraving on synthetic, heavily textured, specially treated or very worn leather.
- All items are subject to technical assessment on site.
- Personalised products cannot be returned.
Production Time
Most Couragem pieces are produced individually, on request, with exclusive personalisation for each customer. Because of this, production time is added on top of the shipping time.
The total estimated timeframe is 7 to 14 business days — production included — for mainland Portugal. For the Islands and Europe, the indicated shipping times are added.
During festive periods, such as Christmas or Easter, slight delays may occur. We recommend placing your order well in advance.
Some products are available for immediate dispatch and are marked as such on the page. These are the exception, not the rule.
To confirm the exact timeframe for your order, chat with us before completing your purchase.
Return and exchange policy
We accept exchanges within 14 days of receiving your order, provided the item is in perfect condition and shows no signs of use.
Personalised items — with engraving, monogram or any other personalisation — are not eligible for exchange or return, given their unique, made-to-order nature.
To start the process, email hello@couragem.com with your order number and the reason for the request. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.
Shipping
Shipments are made via CTT Express, with estimated delivery in 3 business days for mainland Portugal and up to 12 business days for the Islands.
For shipments to Europe, the timeframe varies by destination country.
Shipping is free on orders of 100€ or more, both for Portugal and Europe.
