Whichever you choose, the words will be printed on one side of the bag’s lining, as shown in the item description pictures.
Your personalized text may be handwritten or typed:
・ Typed: enter your message in the designated box and proceed to checkout.
・Handwritten:
-
Handwrite your note on plain, UNLINED paper, using black ink. Max letter size: 5.9"W x 3.9"H.
-
After completing your purchase, take a picture of your note with your phone from a straight angle above. Then attach the file and reply to your order confirmation email from hello@fontem.co.

Text Dimensions And Appearance In Item
Your personalized text will appear on one side of the lining, inside your handbag, as shown in the item description pictures.
✽ IMPORTANT: Please follow instructions for TEXT DIMENSIONS AND APPEARANCE IN HANDBAG for your item of choice.
Important Notes
✽ We do our best to make sure that handwritten messages will match the original handwriting as closely as possible. Please note that certain handwriting may appear slightly faded on top of the lining, in comparison to the original document. The handwriting may also be slightly adjusted and resized in order to fit your chosen bag.
✽ Coloring: We recommend using black ink for best results. Bright colors will not come out in the printing process, therefore, if necessary, we will adjust the color of your scanned text to make it more visible on the item.
✽ All items are made from the finest quality, genuine Italian leather. Please note that the color and texture of each specific item may vary slightly from its photo on the website, as we are dealing with natural raw materials.
