Looking to take your DIY game to the next level? Whether you're a sneaker artist, fashion student, or just love expressing your creativity, rope shoelaces and designer fabric can become your secret weapons.We specialise in premium-quality laces and standout fabrics — and in this post, we’ll show you how to combine them in fresh, unexpected ways. Get inspired to customise shoes, make wearable art, and elevate your personal style.
1. Custom Sneakers with Fabric Panels & Statement Laces
Tired of mass-produced kicks? Start customizing your own. Add a unique twist to sneakers by replacing the standard laces with our color-rich rope shoelaces and accenting panels with designer fabric. Use fabric glue or sewing techniques to add color blocks, patterns, or textures to canvas shoes or old sneakers. Mix and match laces and fabric patterns for a completely original look — no two pairs will be the same.
2. Turn Fabric Scraps & Laces into Statement Accessories
Don’t let scraps go to waste. Combine pieces of designer fabric with rope laces to make bold accessories — like fabric-wrapped bangles, chunky necklaces, or headbands. Use braiding or knotting techniques with rope laces for a textured, streetwear-inspired finish.
3. Upgrade Hoodie or Jacket Drawstrings with Rope Laces
Give your hoodie or jacket a high-fashion twist by replacing boring factory drawstrings with one of our premium rope shoelaces. Choose from a range of textures — reflective, braided, or printed — and even add aglets or lace tips for a refined finish.
Bonus Style Hack: Line the inside of your hoodie with patterned fabric from our shop to match your new laces.
Bonus Idea: Mix Materials to Create Shoe Patches
Use designer fabric scraps to create iron-on or sew-on patches for your shoes, sneakers, or even backpacks. Add matching laces for a coordinated look. Whether it's animal print, denim, or floral, patches instantly elevate your gear from basic to bespoke.
Whether you're customizing your kicks, crafting something totally unique, or just playing with materials, the possibilities are endless when you start with the right tools. Explore our full range in our store!
