You love shoes. You love them. All of them, without exception (or almost): sneakers, pumps, sandals, espadrilles, boots, derbies, etc.
But what you'll love most is having unique shoes just for you. And for that, we have found nothing better than customization. Let your creativity come out!
To have trendy shoes and to your taste, you can customize them. And you don't have to be an expert seamstress! There are many simple methods and even brands to help you
Do you have an old pair of sneakers in your closet? No need to throw them away, just accessorize them!
To customize your shoes, go to a haberdashery. Ribbons, beads, coloured threads, buttons... With all this, you will be able to create anything you want.

With ribbons :
To brighten up a pair of sneakers, it's easy: just change the laces! And you can replace them with a ribbon (or laces of a different color). That alone, and your shoes will look new to you!
Choose satin ribbons, more or less wide, and tie them like classic laces. On a pair of pumps or running shoes, you can also use them to wrap them around the ankle and give the illusion of a bridle. That's very chic!

With embroidery :
You need thread, a needle and a little practice. Embroidery is ideal to enhance your canvas shoes, Converse style, Vans or espadrilles.
With pearls :
Do you love pearls? Good news! Sew them on to your shoes! You can even form drawings with it. For large pearls, simply slip them into your laces to decorate your shoes.
Alternatively, you can replace the beads with colored buttons.
With paint :
Whether on canvas or leather, you can decorate everything with paint or felt pens. Do you want glitter? A little glue, glitter paint and here you are with ultra trendy glitter shoes.
You can also choose to draw patterns or paint some or all of your shoes.
