This series of green leather menu covers was created by Mureli Workshop as a real custom order for a bar.

The client needed branded menu covers for everyday use at the venue. For this project, they selected rich green leather, a double-layer construction, elastic cord binding, and personalization with their own logo.

The menu cover is designed for a standard 8.5 × 11 in sheet, folded in half to 8.5 × 5.5 in and secured inside the cover with a central elastic cord.

For the logo application, we also created a dedicated physical embossing die based on the client’s artwork. The photos show the finished menu covers, the actual die used for embossing, and part of the completed client order.

About This Custom Project

This project was created by Mureli Workshop for a bar that needed reusable leather menu covers with its own branded design.

For this order, we made:

• Green leather bar menu covers
• Double-layer leather construction
• Elastic cord binding
• A format designed for 8.5 × 11 in paper
• A custom embossing die made from the client’s logo
• Logo embossing on the front cover
• A consistent design across the full batch

A similar project can be created for another bar, cocktail bar, wine bar, hotel bar, restaurant, or other hospitality business.

8.5 × 11 in Menu Format

This model is designed for standard US Letter paper:

• 8.5 × 11 in
• 216 × 279 mm

The sheet is folded in half and fits inside the menu cover at:

• 8.5 × 5.5 in
• Approximately 216 × 140 mm

This allows the venue to use standard 8.5 × 11 in printing without ordering a special paper format.

Menu Cover Dimensions

Folded size:

• 5.9 × 9.8 in
• 152 × 250 mm

Open size:

• 12.2 × 9.8 in
• Approximately 310 × 250 mm

The construction is designed so a folded 8.5 × 11 in sheet fits neatly inside the leather cover.

Elastic Cord Binding

The menu pages are secured with a central elastic cord.

This simple and practical binding system makes it easy to replace printed menus without replacing the leather cover itself.

To update the menu, the venue can simply:

• Remove the existing sheet
• Fold a new 8.5 × 11 in sheet in half
• Secure it with the elastic cord

This format works especially well for bars where cocktail lists, seasonal drinks, pricing, or special menus may change regularly.

Double-Layer Leather Construction

These menu covers are made with a double-layer leather construction.

The two layers create a denser and more substantial feel in the hand and give the cover more structure compared with a simple single-layer design.

This construction is well suited for everyday use in bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues.

Custom Embossing Die for the Logo

For this custom order, we created a dedicated physical embossing die based on the client’s logo.

This die is the actual tool used to emboss the logo into the leather.

One of the photos shows the real embossing die from this project next to the finished logo impression.

This gives a direct look at part of the Mureli Workshop production process, not only the final product.

We Keep the Embossing Die for Repeat Orders

After the first order is completed, we keep the custom embossing die created for the client.

If the bar later orders:

• Additional menu covers
• Replacement pieces
• New bar accessories
• Other leather products with the same logo

we can reuse the existing die.

This makes repeat orders easier and faster to move into production because the main logo embossing tool has already been created.

One Logo Across Different Bar Accessories

The saved embossing die can also be used for other compatible leather products.

Depending on the logo size and product format, the same design can be used for:

• Bar menu covers
• Cocktail menu covers
• Wine lists
• Bill holders
• Check presenters
• Coasters
• Reservation books
• Folders
• Desk accessories
• Corporate gifts

This allows a venue to gradually build a coordinated collection of leather accessories using the same logo, leather color, and visual style.

Designed for Bars and Cocktail Venues

This model can be used for different types of bar and drink menus:

• Bar menu
• Cocktail menu
• Drink menu
• Wine list
• Whiskey menu
• Spirits menu
• Beer menu
• Happy hour menu
• Seasonal cocktail menu
• Hotel bar menu

A venue can also order several different menu types in the same leather and with the same logo for a consistent look.

Personalization

For a new order, personalization can include:

• Logo
• Business name
• Monogram
• Short text
• Custom graphic
• No personalization

Examples shown are for demonstration only.

Personalization can be adapted to the visual identity of a specific bar or restaurant.

Other Leather Colors and Custom Sizes

The photos show this menu cover in a dark green leather color.

For a new project, another leather color can be selected to match the venue’s interior, concept, or brand identity.

We can also customize:

• Leather color
• Menu size
• Page format
• Construction
• Personalization
• Order quantity

If your bar already uses a different menu format, we can develop a custom construction around those dimensions.

Bulk Orders for Bars

Mureli Workshop can produce both individual samples and larger batches of leather menu covers.

This format is suitable for:

• Independent bars
• Cocktail bars
• Wine bars
• Hotel bars
• Restaurant bars
• Private clubs
• Tasting rooms
• Lounges
• Hospitality venues

The same leather, construction, format, and logo can be maintained across the full order.

A new order can be adapted for another venue with different:

At Mureli Workshop, we believe that choosing the right leather is just as important as the craftsmanship itself. We carefully select materials according to each product's purpose, design, and intended use.

For personal accessories and luxury leather goods, we often prioritize natural texture, softness, distinctive character, and the way leather develops over time. For hospitality and commercial products, durability, structural stability, and ease of maintenance may be more important. This is why we work with different types of genuine leather, including natural and polymer-coated finishes.

Before production, we inspect and select suitable leather sections based on their strength, flexibility, texture, and appearance.

For individual custom orders and large corporate projects, we can also source specific leather types, colors, thicknesses, and finishes to match your vision and requirements.

As genuine leather is a natural material, slight variations in color and texture may occur, depending on the leather type and finish.

Any personalization shown in the photos in our listings, including logos, names, initials, or text, is provided for demonstration purposes only. By default, we sell our products without personalization. If you would like to add your own logo, name, or text, please leave your request in the Comment field during checkout.

In many cases, we can complete laser engraving directly at the warehouse and ship the order on the same day, so this usually does not affect the dispatch time. If embossing with a metal die is required, the work is completed in our workshop in Ukraine, so delivery usually takes about 9 days instead of 1–3 days for orders shipped from our warehouse in the USA.

If the personalization includes the customer’s logo, our designer first prepares a digital mockup for approval. For wholesale and corporate orders, we also produce the first item from the batch as a sample, approve it separately, and only after the second approval do we proceed with the full production run.

If the order is shipped from Ukraine, we independently pay all customs duties and mandatory charges regardless of the destination country, so the customer does not face additional costs or difficulties when receiving the parcel.
