Ricami Veronica: personalized Made in Italy linens born in Tuscany
There are items that stay with a family longer than we imagine: the first towel with an embroidered name, the trousseau sheets, the bathrobe gifted for a baptism. They are simple things, yet they become keepsakes. Ricami Veronica was born from this very idea: to transform home linens into a unique object, tailored to the person who will receive it.
Since the late 1980s, we have been working in Tuscany with a single obsession: well-executed personalization, using Italian materials and the care of an artisanal workshop. In this article, we tell you who we are, how we work, and why more and more customers in Italy and around the world choose our personalized embroidery.
Who is Ricami Veronica
Ricami Veronica was founded in Tuscany in the late 1980s as a business dedicated to the marketing and personalization of high-quality home linens. From the very beginning, the choice was clear: not to chase low-cost products, but to defend the value of Made in Italy and craftsmanship.
From a small workshop, we have grown over the years into a point of reference for those looking for personalized linens that last over time. What has never changed is our way of working: every item is personalized upon request, one name and one embroidery at a time, without delegating the most delicate part to third parties. This is what allows us to guarantee a consistent level of quality, piece by piece.
What "personalized home linens" means
When we talk about personalized linens, we don't just mean adding an initial. We mean a product designed around the person who will use it: the right fabric, the right color, the name or phrase that makes it recognizable and special.
Our offerings revolve around items that are part of daily home life:
- Towels and bath sets with embroidered names or initials.
- Bathrobes for adults and children, personalized for baptisms, birthdays, and birth gifts.
- Bedtime linens and items for little ones, where the embroidered name becomes a small gesture of affection.
- Trousseaus and home linens, in the best Italian tradition.
The common thread is always the same: starting with Italian raw materials and transforming them into an object that speaks of the person for whom it is intended.
The value of Made in Italy, for real
“Made in Italy” is an expression you see everywhere today, often without substance. For us, it has a very concrete meaning: we personalize and finish only Italian raw materials, and the work takes place in our workshop, not abroad.
Unlike many companies that have moved production out of Italy, Ricami Veronica has chosen to maintain a product entirely made in our country. It is a more demanding choice, but it is also the only one that allows us to control every step: from the selection of the fabric to the final look of the embroidery. The result is linens that withstand washing, maintain their softness, and keep the embroidery clean and tidy over time.
Hand personalization and the chain stitch
The heart of our work is the embroidery. Many of our items are personalized with the characteristic chain stitch, a technique that gives the name a soft and recognizable texture, very different from the coldness of a simple print or fully automated embroidery.
It is a type of work guided by the artisan's hand: the embroiderer literally "draws" the name, controlling the flow, curves, and thickness. This is why every piece is slightly unique, exactly as embroidery used to be. If you want to learn more about the technique and the artisanal machine that makes it possible, we talk about it in an article dedicated to the chain stitch and the Cornely A3.
Name, initials, or phrase: how personalization works
Personalizing with Ricami Veronica is simple: you choose the item, color, and size; you indicate the name (or initials) and, if you wish, add a short phrase — a "Happy 1st birthday," a date, a dedication. We take care of the rest: we embroider by hand and package it, ready for shipping.

Those who buy from us don't just buy a towel or a bathrobe: they choose an artisanal personalization service with specific guarantees.

A gift that stays: the right occasions
A personalized item is one of those gifts that rarely ends up in a drawer. The embroidered name makes it immediately "someone's," and this changes the way it is perceived. This is why our customers return, especially for:
- Births and baptisms: bathrobes and baby sets with an embroidered name.
- First birthdays: a custom-made item with a dedication.
- Weddings and trousseaus: home linens with the bride and groom's initials.
- Family gifts: a personal thought that is elegant and useful at the same time.
In all these cases, personalization transforms a common object into a memory. It is exactly why we exist.
How to choose the right item to personalize
Beautiful embroidery always starts with a good base. Even before the name, the fabric and its intended use matter. Here are the criteria we suggest keeping in mind when choosing an item to personalize.
- The fabric: for bath terry cloth, favor soft and absorbent weights; for gift linens, a compact fabric holds the embroidery better over time.
- The color: evaluate the contrast between the item and the thread. A tone-on-tone embroidered name is discreet and elegant; a contrasting thread makes it a standout feature.
- The size: for children's items, always check the age or reference size so the gift is ready to use.
- The text: a name almost always works; a short phrase (a date, a dedication) adds value without cluttering.
If you have doubts, start with the significance: who will use the object and for what occasion? From there, the choice of fabric and color becomes natural.
How to take care of personalized linens
A quality embroidered item is made to last, provided it is treated with a little attention. Our general instructions, which should always be verified on the individual product label, are simple.
- Delicate washes: moderate temperatures protect both the fabric and the thread color.
- Turn the garment inside out: washing inside out reduces direct friction on the embroidery.
- Avoid harsh bleaching agents: they can alter the tones of the embroidery and the fabric.
- Iron with care: best from the inside out or with a protective cloth over the embroidery.
These are minimal precautions that significantly extend the life of the product and keep the embroidery neat and tidy even after many washes.
