Dalmore Dubai – Bespoke Leather Monogramming for Luxury Hospitality Events

A Tailor-Made Experience for an Exclusive Whisky Launch

For the private launch of a new Dalmore whisky in Dubai, the brand welcomed a select group of partners, tastemakers and media guests to an intimate two-day gathering at The Lana Dorchester. In a setting designed around refinement and quiet sophistication, we created a bespoke personalization experience built around a material that naturally speaks the language of luxury: leather.

The Emotional Power of a Handmade Gift

Leather has long been associated with craftsmanship, heritage and durability — three notions that echo Dalmore’s identity. Throughout the event, each guest was invited to choose a luggage tag crafted in premium textured leather, then personalized live by our artist Hakim Idriss. Initials, monograms and delicate gold touches were painted by hand, turning a simple accessory into a symbolic keepsake.

This approach is something we cultivate regularly for luxury brands in Dubai: whether it takes the form of anniversary celebrations or intimate gatherings inside flagship boutiques, the idea remains the same — to create a moment that feels genuinely personal in a world saturated with standard gifting.

Monogramming and the Language of Luxury

There is a long history linking monogramming to the world of high-end goods. A set of initials painted with precision carries an immediate sense of exclusivity, almost like a quiet signature between the brand and its guest. At Dalmore’s event, this detail became a focal point of the guest journey: people selected their letters, observed the gesture, and left with an object that held both aesthetic and emotional value.

This kind of delicate, artisan-driven moment is also what makes our collaborations with houses like Dior or Jimmy Choo so meaningful: every gesture is done in front of the client, and every detail contributes to the brand’s storytelling.

A Refined Touch for VIP Hospitality in Dubai

Dubai has become a destination where luxury brands seek to create experiences that go far beyond product presentation. For Dalmore, the live customization corner offered a warm counterpoint to the prestige of the tasting: guests slowed down, discussed colours and typography, and enjoyed a moment that blended artistry and hospitality.

It is the same philosophy that guides many of our UAE projects — from creative retail celebrations to corporate evenings seeking a more human touch. When a brand offers a handcrafted gift, it offers more than an object: it creates a memory.

Craftsmanship at the Heart of Luxury Brand Storytelling

This collaboration with Dalmore reflects a growing appetite among premium brands for personalized, artisanal experiences — especially during product launches, private dinners and partner-focused events. A handcrafted leather tag, carefully monogrammed and presented in a refined setting, carries the values a brand wants to be remembered for: care, elegance and attention to detail.

Our work in Dubai continues to evolve through similar activations — from bespoke leather tags to high-end retail personalization — always with the same intention: creating meaningful moments that leave a lasting impression.
