A big "thanks!" to E, who reached out to share information about Madewell's monogramming program, as well as Williamsburg store opening:
Madewell unveiled a new Monogram destination on the site earlier this month, extending the options to belts, key fobs and new fall styles. We will be offering complimentary monogramming through 10/20
This current promotion is mentioned in last month's "Free Monogramming at Madewell {limited time!}" post as well. But wait, there is more!

Lastly, the following is about a new Madewell store opening in Williamsburg, New York City (located on 126 North Sixth Street):
Williamsburg Store Opening- Madewell is opening its first BK store on 10/29 with an event that is open to the public!
A lot of exciting news and events going on at Madewell lately! I am also loving the monogramming on the spot events at various stores. This way customers don't have to wait an additional week to get their item.


I did end up getting a Transport Tote monogrammed in my initials during this current promotion. (I got the Black tote with English Saddle handles, with gold foil initials if you were curious.) I have to say it is gorgeous! It truly elevates the classic bag to something special and unique. I am really pleased with it. Now if only it would stop raining where I live so I can use it more! ;)

Have you taken advantage of the free monogramming at Madewell? Any events at Madewell you plan to attend? Please share! :)

    Love the monogramming, Alexis. The gold foil is my favorite, and I'm sure your tote looks so lovely with your initials. I am contemplating the mini-transport crossbody, and will have it monogrammed with the gold foil initials if I do end up getting it.

      Love this bag, Melissa. Light but still big enough to hold my wallet and a bottle of diet coke - lol.

      I think the mini-transport crossbody bag is beautiful. Let us know if you decide to get it Melissa! :)

      Thanks Alexis! I will definitely let you know. I'd really like to get it on promo, so I'm hoping they offer one on it again soon. Btw, I picked up my plaid scarf from Target yesterday. It's much nicer IRL than online, isn't it? I love the colors and how soft it is. Thanks again for posting about it on Instagram. :)

    Missed out on the free monogramming but did purchase the mini transport crossbody in Rock on a promo and absolutely love it. It is the perfect size for me, since the transport tote is too overpowering for me but I loved the color combo

    Thank you rcb.shops and JRSConifer! The bag is 25% off at Shopbop right now, which would make the price better, but then it cannot be monogrammed. I really hope they put it on promo again soon. :)

    Does anyone know if Madewell will take a previously purchased Transport tote to monogram if I brought it in to my local Madewell (Rhode Island) location? I'd be willing to pay for the monogramming, I understand the current promotion is to encourage new purchases and wouldn't expect it to cover previously bought bags.

      Hi Jamie - I think they will allow you to have it monogrammed. I contacted them about having the mini-transport crossbody I was contemplating getting at Shopbop with the extra 25% off monogrammed, and they said I could send it in to them to have it done. Unfortunately they just emailed me that news this morning AFTER the Shopbop F&F is over, and I didn't get the bag...so sad. Anyways, I do think they will monogram your tote for you, so I would suggest taking it in to your local Madewell store to ask them. HTH! :)

      Just wanted to let you both know. I was in a Madewell store last night and picked up a post card that says "We are offering complimentary monogramming for a limited time. Just fill this out and find a SA and we'll sort out the details" The fine print says for purchases of new leather items from 9/24/14 through 10/20/14. Some exclusions apply. Worth taking it into a store and asking. I am on the fence about getting my mini transport monogrammed so did not ask, plus I could not remember my purchase date which when I checked was 9/18. HTH
