HOW IT WORKS

Your name, stitched in.

At GALE STUDIO, personalization isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation. Every bag in our collection can be made uniquely yours with custom embroidery: your initials, a name, a meaningful date, or something else entirely.

Done in performance-grade recycled thread, each stitch is built to last as long as the bag itself. This is how we make something beautiful entirely yours.

Select Your Bag

Start with the style that suits the way it will be used: the Upstate Duffle for travel, the Essential or Commuter Tote for daily life, or an accessory.

FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

The gift they'll never forget.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Everything you need to know

Can I personalize any bag in the collection?

Yes—every style in our collection is available with custom embroidery. Simply select your personalization options at checkout.

How many characters are included?

3 characters are included with any purchase—anything on the keyboard. Need something longer? Reach out via our Contact Us page.

How long does personalization take?

Personalized orders require 7–14 business days, as each piece is custom embroidered by our partners. In-stock, non-personalized pieces ship within 2 business days. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order leaves our studio.

Can personalized orders be returned or exchanged?

Because each piece is made uniquely for you, personalized orders are final sale—unless there's an error on our part. If your embroidery doesn't match what you ordered, we'll remake it at no cost.

What thread colors are available?

Our curated palette includes Garnet, Clay Blush, Navy, Olive Bronze, Antique Gold, and Burnt Sienna—all chosen to complement our canvas and leather.

Is the embroidery thread sustainable?

Yes—our embroidery uses Polyneon Green, a recycled polyester thread made from post-consumer plastic waste. Sustainability is woven into every stitch.
