The festive season has officially arrived at Fortnum & Mason, and with it comes a series of beautifully curated Christmas events designed to celebrate craftsmanship, tradition, and meaningful gifting. This year, we are delighted to share that Aivis Provejs will once again be joining Fortnum’s for a selection of exclusive live personalisation sessions inside the iconic Piccadilly store.
From hand-painted initials to custom artwork on leather goods, guests can experience the rare opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind gift - crafted in real time, right in front of them.
A Christmas Season Filled with Craftsmanship
There’s something unmistakably special about Fortnum & Mason at Christmas. The atmosphere, the history, the golden glow of the windows - everything creates a sense of magic. This year, customers can elevate their holiday gifting by visiting one of Aivis Provejs’ live luxury personalisation events.
During each session, Aivis will be hand-painting initials, monograms, motifs, names, and bespoke designs on Fortnum’s beautiful leather accessories, including:
-
Wallets
-
Cardholders
-
Passport covers
-
Travel accessories
-
Small leather goods ideal for Christmas gifts
These pieces become unique personalised gifts, perfect for family, friends, or even a special treat for yourself.
Meet the Artist: Aivis Provejs
Known for his refined technique, attention to detail, and ability to transform everyday items into meaningful keepsakes, Aivis Provejs has become one of London’s sought-after artists for luxury leather customisation.
Each brushstroke is painted by hand, creating a piece that carries sentimental value far beyond the season. Customers are invited to watch the process up close, ask questions, and collaborate with Aivis to create a design that feels personal and memorable.

Why Personalised Gifts Matter at Christmas
At a time when everyone is searching for the perfect Christmas present, personalisation adds something no shop can sell off the shelf - thought, story, and connection.
A personalised gift becomes:
-
A memory someone can carry every day
-
A meaningful keepsake rather than just an accessory
-
A reflection of your relationship with the recipient
-
A timeless piece that lasts far beyond the festive season
Whether it’s initials tucked into a corner or a hand-painted detail that reminds someone of a special moment, these touches turn a simple item into something unforgettable.
