A gift with initials or a dedication is a choice you cannot change afterwards: personalised products are excluded from the right of withdrawal, so they cannot be returned. That is why it pays to understand beforehand what can be done, on which products and with which limits. Here you will find the four Piquadro personalisation techniques, also gathered on the Make it yours page, and four personalisable products available online, compared.

The four personalisation techniques
- Monogram Tag: leather tag with a metal frame, up to 3 hot-stamped initials (gold or silver foil, or blind). It fits backpacks that are prepared for it; with some models it is included. Also available in store.
- POP Tag: metal plate with up to 3 initials for every suitcase in the POP collection, special editions included.
- Laser engraving: text, names, dates or artwork engraved into the surface layer of the material, directly on the product. It is ideal on leather and rubberised fabric; on leather the mark is tone on tone, with an intensity that can vary with the hide.
- UV printing: text and artwork in colour with a UV finish, directly on the product, on suitable products (backpacks, small leather goods, accessories).
On the product page, laser or UV personalisation starts from the "Personalise" button. The four models below cover the main combinations: Monogram Tag included, backpack prepared for the tag, suitcase with the POP Tag.

What to know before ordering
- Returns: a personalised product, meaning one with a graphic mark applied at your request, cannot be returned, because the right of withdrawal is excluded for personalised items. Check initials, text and artwork in the preview before confirming.
- Timing: the work adds a step to order preparation. The current time is shown on the Make it yours page and on the product page when you order.
- Technique and material: laser engraving on leather is tone on tone and can vary in intensity; UV printing is in colour. Choose by the result you want, not only by the technique.
- Number of characters: tags take up to 3 initials; for sentences and dates you need laser or UV print.
- In store: the Monogram Tag can also be personalised in Piquadro stores, while embossing is done in store only.
When to choose another model
- If you want a smaller gift: the Personalizable Leather Sling Bag with iPad® mini Pocket (Blue Square), in leather with an iPad mini pocket, weighs 0.39 kg, has the Monogram Tag included and can be personalised on the product.
- If the recipient might want to exchange it: choose the product without personalisation and add the Monogram Tag separately later, so the product remains returnable under the ordinary conditions in the FAQ.
- If you want to personalise a trolley other than the POP: look at the two collections of products with the Monogram Tag included and personalisable products.
Frequently asked questions
Can I return a personalised product?
No: the right of withdrawal is excluded for personalised products, meaning those on which a graphic mark was applied at the customer's request. A non-personalised product follows the ordinary return conditions.
Is the Monogram Tag included with every backpack?
No. Some backpacks have the Monogram Tag included, others are prepared for it and the tag is added separately. The table above shows it for each model.
Can I choose the font and colour of the initials?
For the Monogram Tag you choose between gold foil, silver foil or blind embossing; with laser and UV print you choose text, artwork and, for printing, colours, with a live preview.
Conclusion
For a complete work gift, the Blue Square CA6593B2 backpack with tag included and on-product personalisation; for a small leather format, the CA6589B2 sling bag; for someone who prefers fabric, the Corner 2.0 CA6464C2OW with a tag to add; for a traveller, the PQ-Light BV4425PQL with the POP Tag. In every case, check the preview, because personalised items cannot be returned.
