• Jiyugaoka - Design and create unique shoe kilties for your sneakers!

For more information and designs, visit my TripAdvisor page or Instagram @mamas.happy.atelier.

1. Choose size
   There are 2 sizes available:

・Adult size (unisex)
Easily put on and take off by threading through the shoelaces to match your outfit. For loafers or sandals, you can attach a shoe clip.

・Baby to kid size
For babies and toddlers, use shoe clips to put them on and take them off. As they grow and start wearing lace-up shoes, you can thread them through the laces, allowing for long-term use.

2. Choose materials (15-30 min)
   Select from Japanese-made leather, Italian leather, furs, PVC, tweed, ribbon lace, and antique kimono fabrics.

3. Cut and open holes (30-45 min)
   Cut out the kilties using a leather knife along the lines. Open holes for eyelets and decorations.

4. Assemble and finish (15 min)
   Use a hammer for eyeleting. Glue ribbon and shoe clips.

The workshop is conveniently located at an atelier just a 7-minute walk from Jiyugaoka or Kuhonbutsu Station, and about 15 minutes by train from Shibuya or Futakotamagawa.

Design and craft a pair of shoe kilties for your sneakers and sandals that are uniquely yours!

This workshop is ideal for handcraft enthusiasts, as well as those new to leather crafts or not confident in their handicraft skills, since it doesn’t require the use of needles and thread.

Join in the joy and excitement of creating something special.

For bookings of more than two people, arrangements can be made to rent a workshop café space, which is a 5-minute walk from the atelier.
