Bring a hint of traditional Japanese fashion to your modern-day wardrobe with shoelaces handmade from vintage kimono fabric. Each print is unique and features a beautiful ornamental design characteristic to kimono fabric. Designed by Joe Wayno, who while living in Japan was inspired by how Japanese youth mix and match traditional kimono material with their fashion. It turns out that there is a surplus of kimono fabric in Japan. After WWII, kimono wearers became a minority in Japan, but the fabric was still produced. Joe purchased excess bolts of overstocked kimono fabric from the 70s and 80s and has been designing his own line of traditional-meets-modern accessories ever since. Handmade in Japan.

"I love these! They give a little extra something to my casual shoes. They stay tied! No having to retie them 1000 times, like polyester shoelaces. They're the perfect length for Converse-like sneakers. I would love it if they were available in other lengths. "

    Best Uses

"Most shoelaces have in their description how many shoe eyelets they fit. It is a lot easier to count the eyelets on my shoes than to take the laces out and measure them.[...] Excessively long, requiring careful adjustment to prevent ends getting underfoot "
