The inauguration of YouTube Space in Paris marked a turning point for our studio — not only as our first collaboration with Google, but also as a strong validation of our Dubai event personalization expertise. Being directly contacted by one of the world’s most influential companies confirmed the reputation we had built in the field of artistic customization, a reputation that continues to grow in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the region. The project involved creating original, hand-personalized tote bags for guests, showcasing a flexible, high-volume setup managed by a full team of experienced artists.
For this large-scale celebration, our artists personalized cotton tote bags with names, YouTube channel titles, emojis and creative symbols, all using a custom colour palette inspired by Google’s identity. Achieving this level of variety and consistency requires advanced technical preparation — from controlling drying times to mastering the right tools for fabric. These techniques are the same ones we apply today in the UAE for activations such as live cap customization for Dubai events or creative retail installations for Lacoste corporate experiences.
This collaboration was significant for another reason: Google chose us. Their teams identified our capabilities, approached us directly, and later re-engaged us for additional projects — a clear sign that our artistic direction, production quality and operational reliability meet the demanding standards of global corporations. This recognition mirrors the trust we receive from luxury clients in the Middle East, from high-end leather houses in Dubai to premium retail activations like Jimmy Choo.
What made the YouTube Space project particularly relevant to our Dubai operations is the combination of scale, creativity and adaptability. Personalization was available throughout the event, allowing guests to fully express themselves while taking home a unique and meaningful item. This approach reflects the dynamic expectations of Middle Eastern brands, who value artistic customization for product launches, influencer events and immersive brand experiences. Many of our signature methods were shaped through such landmark projects, later applied to UAE-focused work like window calligraphy and leather personalization for retail and luxury activation programs.
While we are recognized for our leather craftsmanship, this project illustrates our ability to go far beyond it. The tote bags became canvases for expressive typography, vibrant gradients and personalized messages — proving that our team can adapt artistic techniques to any surface. This multi-support capability is essential for brands working in Dubai’s fast-paced environment, where activations need both creativity and efficiency. It also informs our collaborations with entertainment giants, such as Disney and Marvel VIP events, as well as premium retail projects like Samsonite.
Today, Graffeur Paris – Dubai is considered a leading partner for Dubai event personalization, offering brands a tailored artistic service capable of handling both intimate and large-scale gatherings. From Google to luxury fashion houses, we consistently deliver a mix of creative impact, technical precision and operational clarity.
