From brilliant birds to blooming florals, patches and badges can truly bring your outfits to life. This became a popular trend in the 1970s, when youths began expressing their individuality through their clothes.
Since then, embroidered badges have become a powerful style statement, giving denim jeans and jackets a rebellious retro edge.
Whether you choose a design inspired by your beliefs, your travels, your favourite animal, or your favourite band, patching up your clothes is a creative way to wear your story.
Our summer collection includes a range of sew-on badges, crafted in the most stunning designs and embellished with shimmering sequins. Attach them to your trouser pockets or jacket lapels and instantly elevate your look.
Embrace your inner artist and transform your clothes into wearable canvases!
Grab some fabric paint and markers, then take your plain denim styles and decorate them with patterns, quotes, or illustrations. Go wild with boho swirls and bold typography.
If you want your colourful artwork to stand out, choose a white denim jacket or some light wash jeans. For a fully customised look, you could even use this technique on your shoes and trainers!
Though fringe is a favourite for festival season, it’s a timeless style you can rock all year long.
Sew or glue fringe along the sleeves of your jacket or the hem of your jeans to bring a touch of drama to an everyday outfit.
If you're aiming for a western look, opt for suede fringe, or go rock ‘n’ roll with metallic fabric. For a vintage-inspired outfit, you can add tassel or lace trims to create effortless elegance.
From waistcoats to bags, our latest collection has loads of gorgeous fringe styles. So, if you don’t feel like adding it yourself, we’ve got you covered!
The only thing cooler than denim? Ripped denim!
Spotted on fashion rebels and rockstars, ripped or distressed denim oozes with confidence and attitude. Though most of us get our jeans pre-ripped, it’s so much more fun to do it yourself!
It’s a surprisingly easy way to customise your clothes- all you’ll need is a few basic tools, (fabric scissors, a cheese grater, a nail file, and a fabric marker), and some creativity to create that worn-out, lived-in feel.
Pair your customised jeans with a cute graphic tee or a floaty floral blouse to create the perfect balance between soft and edgy.
Belts with interchangeable buckles are probably the easiest way to customise your outfits. Whether you’re feeling boho one day or western the next, swapping your belt buckle can completely transform your look- no sewing or gluing required!
We recommend choosing a customisable belt, crafted from classic black leather. Add a vintage-inspired buckle for that well-worn aesthetic.
Have fun mixing and matching to suit your mood, your outfit, or even the occasion!
Whether you’re revamping old favourites or putting a personal spin on a new style, customising your outfits is a fun, feel-good way to express yourself.
Browse our new collection to discover a range of jackets, jeans, bags, and accessories- all waiting to be bedazzled by you!
