Create Your Own Shoelaces at Studio Draž

Viva Creativa: threads and colors – transform your everyday shoes into something extraordinary with handmade laces from Studio Draž. The creative duo, Tomaž and Urša, will welcome you into their world of top-class knitwear. Choose your threads, design your own pattern, and take home a pair of unique laces created by you.

How can any pair of shoes become a one-of-a-kind fashion piece? The secret lies in what’s woven and tied. At the Draž knitting studio, you’ll design your own unique laces and meet the creative sibling duo behind the brand. Step behind the scenes of two studios: in the first, Tomaž shows how his distinctive knitwear is created using the principle one pixel – one stitch. In the second, Urša and her team work on their iconic collections. Choose your own thread combination and watch as the most beautiful laces you’ve ever owned come to life.

The story of brother and sister Tomaž and Urša Draž began with the wisdom of their grandmother, who could transform and breathe new life into every piece of clothing – sustainability before the word even existed. Following her philosophy, the Draž siblings create garments made to last.

Self-taught in their student years, they began experimenting with a knitting machine and developed unique techniques that grew into the luxury knitwear brand Draž. Today, Urša is a textile and clothing design engineer, and together they collaborate with experts, scientists, and artists. Their collections are regular highlights of Ljubljana Fashion Week and have won multiple awards.

Curious to see knitwear that resembles elephant skin? Or patterns inspired by the diatoms of the Ljubljanica River? Step into the world of Studio Draž and discover how a “second skin” is created – softer, more flexible, and irresistibly beautiful.
