Wow, it seems you had great time ! Congrats on the DIY !!!I was fortunate enough to be on holiday and popped into a local store where there was a craftsperson making a sanguine jypsiere. She showed me how to do a slanted saddle stitch and let me do a row of stitches on some scraps of leather and then let me stamp my own bag. I could choose from a variety of sizes of letters but as I only had 3/4 inch to play with I went small. I stamped my initials on the inside flap on a lizard Kelly pochette on the lambskin. I also has a bolide with me so did the end tab on that too. I am quite sure this wasn't a usual experience but I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Wow, what a fantastic opportunity! Sounds like you had great fun
Okay guys so today I decided to visit my local hermes and inquire about hotstamping, I showed the SA a pic of a clover keychain that's been stamped with small initials and colours, and I was surprised when she said that she believe Australia does hotstamping differently, that it only comes in one size and no colour and they never hotstamping leather goods apart from an agenda cover, and that's all about it. I'm pretty disappointed how they're so behind and limited with what they could offer to customers, if other hermes stores can do it I don't understand why they can't and as to why they strictly only offer the service for agendas and nothing else, even cardholders aren't included. I left the shop disappointed.
It's only hot stamping with metal plate. I am sure a good local leather craftsperson could do it for you. I wouldn't go down this route on a bag but SLG's I would be happy to try.
Yeah I only want to do it on SLG but unfortunately my hermes shop won't do it...

This is true for the Brisbane store (my home store aswell). One size, no silver or gold. I got my ulysses stamped. It was sent to sydney and back in my hands in a week. Don't forget aus is very far behind in most areas when it comes to hermes, not just stamping.
yeah I agree and I think it's not just hermes as far as designer brands are concerned.
This is very true. You might have better luck down at marina mirage when it comes to designer. They have excellent stores down there, and their hermes is exceptionally well stocked for an australian store.
that place sounds familiar although I'm not sure if I've been there before, whereabouts is it?
