There’s a gorgeous black leather bag with silver detailing, creamy suede lining and shiny zip detail sitting on the conference table with my name on it… Literally. I’ve officially become swept up in the monogramming craze and have the insatiable urge to have my initials stamped on everything.

Lana Hopkins, CEO of custom bespoke handbag and monogram company Mon Purse says she’s not surprised; she knows exactly why the old-fashioned trend of labelling leather is back in vogue. “People are looking to purchase more experiences and meaningful products versus another item that they already have,” she says. “By monogramming and personalising your bag, you have something unique, personal to you.”

And the craze has reached epic proportions. Companies such as Mon Purse, The Daily Edited, Keep it Personal, GAP, Burberry and Louis Vuitton are all offering monogram items from phone cases, notebooks and clutches, to scarves, swimwear and even pyjamas.
Founder and creative director Alyce Tran started her Sydney-based monogramming company, The Daily Edited (tde.), online with her business partner Tania Liu to bring the luxury trend to mass market at an affordable price point. “You can walk into Louis Vuitton and get a passport holder monogrammed for $500 but its not accessible, we can do it here for $70.

“We’re in an age where everyone wants to stand out from the rest, its that selfie and ‘about me’ culture, and I think this taps into that, people love seeing their name on stuff, it’s like their own personal brand.”
The Daily Edited have a range of personalisable leather accessories, desk accents and stationery that allows customers to literally put their stamp of approval on everything.
Mon Purse offers similar monogram options but with one big, notable difference: the ability to design your dream handbag from scratch. You pick the leather colour and type, the handles, the hardware, the lining… you name it, you can customise it. It pretty much guarantees you the handbag of your dreams that’s one of a kind.

Personally I couldn’t decide between the two and now own one piece from each label – a Daily Edited black leather cosmetics bag with gold trim and a Mon Purse grained-leather Bowler bag with silver hardware. And the piece de resistance: the initials EHB shining brightly from the side, literally making my mark on the fashion world.
Now, what else can I get my name on?

Fashion Designer Collaboration

Target’s latest design collaboration,  a 250-piece collection with old school Palm Beach brand Lilly Pulitzer , doesn’t hit stores until April 19. Yet editors and fans alike have are expecting a hit. “Lilly Pulitzer seems like a safe -- but smart -- bet for Target; its visual identity is established and its customer base is fanatic,”  wrote   Racked ’s Nicola Fumo. “I’ll be camping outside Target for the next four months....,” commented @sjwiley on an  Elle  magazine  Instagram  post. The appeal of Lilly for Target is easy to understand. The brand is bright, cheerful and aspirational.

But writing one is easier said than done. So let’s take a look and demystify it – shall we? To begin with, remember that a press release should be clear, informative, visually exciting and specific. BE CLEAR Let’s take it from the top, literally. Start with headed paper. Your company logo should appear clearly at the very top of the page, as it appears everywhere else. This consistency should already be a cornerstone of your marketing strategy. Set clear instructions on when this press release should be published.

The rise of personalisation 'YOUR’ letters, Anya Hindmarch; 'Name’ clutch, Edie Parker; 'ON IT’ badges, Etre Cécile at Shopbop   Bethan Holt   13 DECEMBER 2015 • 8:45AM F rom bracelets to backpacks, scents to stationery, personalisation is Christmas 2015’s biggest trend. Sugary pink, ’70s and boho are some of the major trends we’ve seen on the catwalks and in shop windows this year, but look to the corner of a bag or the back of a denim jacket and you’ll spy 2015’s real hit. Personalisation might not be as immediately striking as fringing or florals, but the subtle statement of initials or a bespoke colour combination is the hottest way to show your fashion nous. The concept of making anything – from a bracelet to a pair of heels or trophy knit – unique to the wearer has been adapted to every price point and taste, spawning countless pop-ups and limited editions. Given the myriad personalisation options around right now, y...
