Sparkle Shoelaces
Iridescent Shoelaces
It’s hard to believe so many months have passed since my last post, and that’s all thanks to my fabulous customers who have been keeping me busy making custom shoelaces. Several new styles have been introduced into my shops these past few months, and probably my favorite addition has been the Iridescent Shoelaces. I’ve exclusively featured the Lost in Lace shop at Etsy for the laces below, but they are also available at the All About Shoelaces shop.
Pink & Green
(The Mauve and Sage on the left has softer shades while the pinstriped Fuchsia and Green on the right is a brighter way to go.)
Iridescent shoelaces stand out the most when they mix colors that are more distant on the color wheel like these pink and green laces.
Everything Purple
As usual I went a little heavy on the purple when selecting my iridescent shoelace ribbon. Maybe I need someone to stop me from getting so much purple, but my customers seem to like all of these new purple shades too!
But Wait! There’s More!

There are so many styles to choose from, that I can’t list them all, but suffice it to say the Iridescent Shoelaces are going to be sticking around. If you want to see everything in one place, checkout the Iridescent Shoelaces section at the All About Shoelaces shop. They are too much fun to pass up! – Ann Louise

Black Shoelaces – The Sky’s the Limit
Basic black shoelaces…we all need them, but do they really need to be so basic? When I first started making shoelaces I was focused on bright colors and crazy prints rather than the black, white and brown colors. As I started to expand and add more basic colors, I realized customers wanted black more than any other color. Who knew? I do now, so my customers have as many options as I can possibly get my hands on.
Black Shoelaces in Satin, Organza and Grosgrain
The standard solid ribbons are always satin, organza and grosgrain. I offer my customers satin and grosgrain shoelaces in 4 different widths (1/4″, 3/8″, 5/8″ and 7/8″), and I offer the organza shoelaces in all 4 of those widths plus a 1.5″ width. (Click on the pictures above to view these shoelaces at the Ribbon Shoelaces shop.)
Black Shoelace Groups
Besides the solid satin/organza/grosgrain, I also offer several other styles of ribbon shoelaces with multiple colors to choose from, and of course I always offer the black when available. (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the Ribbon Shoelaces shop.)
But Wait…There’s More!
Between solids and prints and textures, I just keep curating more ribbons for black ribbon shoelaces for my customers. (Click on the pictures above to view these shoelaces at the All About Shoelaces shop.)
Whether you’re replacing a pair of basic black shoelaces or just want to upgrade what you’ve got, black shoelaces are available from subtle to wild. You can always find the perfect pair, and you don’t even have to look that hard. 🙂 – Ann Louise
Metallic Shoelaces – Time to Shine
Metallic shoelaces are a year-round customer favorite, but they really get popular as the holidays approach. When the days get shorter and darker, everyone likes an opportunity to shine during all of those seasonal parties and festivities.
All Over Metallic Sparkle
This selection of shoelaces tops everyone’s favorites list. The metallic threads are actually the color of the laces and not just some gold or silver threads woven into the ribbons. The white shade has a bit of an iridescent effect that makes it a frequent choice for wedding shoes. (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the Ribbon Shoelaces shop.)
Silver Linings
At only 1/4″ wide, these silver-trimmed satin shoelaces don’t overshadow your fabulous new party shoes, but they do give them a hint of sparkle. (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the All About Shoelaces shop.)
Heavy Metal
While many shoes have either gold or silver hardware (e.g. eyelets, buckles, etc.) that commit you to gold or silver with the rest of your accessories…belts, jewelry, purses, watches…most shoes come without the extra hardware. These gold and silver shoelaces let you choose, switch and mix your metal colors as you please. (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the Lost in Lace shop.)
Good for Blue
Blue is great for any time of year, and I wear this navy pair every chance I get! We all have blue shoes that would look better with a little sparkle. 🙂 (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the All About Shoelaces shop.)
Gold Rush
With a nearly invisible organza background, these delicate gold laces are all about the shine. (Click on the picture above to view these shoelaces at the Ribbon Shoelaces shop.)
Whether you’re the type who can pull off metallic shoelace bling on a daily basis or just for special occasions, they always bring a cheerful glint and gleam. And how easy is that? A change of shoelaces is such a simple way to sparkle and shine whenever you want. – Ann Louise
