The namesake

Make a name for yourself. Proudly proclaim your name on your door front or gate with a niftily crafted nameplate



FIRST IMPRESSION A variety of nameplates to choose from

Identiti could not be a more apt name for the shop that sells nameplates. And with every single detail about your home that is now branded and custom-made according to your preferences and tastes, Identiti is the first stop when you’re shifting home or office or moving into a new one.

So from door, wall, office, desk to gate nameplates which are designed for children, accessories, photo-frames, letter boxes, brass doorbells, plant holders in different textures and designs, you can choose from a variety of options for that first impression.

And how many times have we passed by a sprawling mansion with an elaborate, large-lettered nameplate wanting to tell the whole world who they are?

A pretty European alley-like signpost outside a shop or one that works like blocks in scrabble, these nameplates are ideal for those who want their first appearance to be telling.

The time that is needed to make or order these nameplates could be between eight to 60 days depending on the material used and for what purpose.

It takes eight to 10 days for door nameplates and up to 12 days for an apartment entrance or two months for a bungalow or villa.

The ones that you can pick up right away (which look informal) are the ceramic blocks that range from Rs. 425 for four letters (blocks) to Rs. 725 for ten letters (blocks).

The doorplates vary from Rs. 750 to Rs. 1,500 for the brush script variety that is computerised. For apartments, there are the hand calligraphy nameplates that come in five to six designs and colours according to the customer’s needs.

The brass scrolls are Rs. 1,250, accessories come at Rs. 450, photo frames at Rs. 225, letter boxes at Rs. 600, brass doorbells at Rs. 1,250 and money plant holders at Rs. 1,250.

There are glass nameplates, the textured brass variety and the oxidised ones which are water-resistant and more expensive. For apartments, there are powdered aluminium plates and doorknobs shaped like elephants, and iron plates priced between Rs. 600 to Rs. 1,250.

The plates are made of frosted glass, ceramics, sculptured metal, plain or classic wood, and stone, with stone or brass letters. The entire range is priced from Rs. 550 to Rs. 11,500. Identiti is at Home Town, Vanshree Towers, Outer Ring Road, next to Innovative Multiplex, Varthur Hobli (25236622/66621106) and at Total Mall, No. 29, Madivala Commercial Plaza, Sarjapura cross road, Madivala (25503987) and is open from 10.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. on all days.
