This is the only way to ensure the Angelus paint actually bites into the material and survives daily wear. If we skipped this step, your art would start chipping after just a few walks, and we don't do shortcuts. We paint every single detail by hand, so what you get is a permanent design that moves with the shoe. ### How We Make It Pop We don't do stickers, prints, or mass-produced transfers. When you look at the Dragon Ball Z Adidas or the Simpsons Nike AF1s in our gallery, you are seeing hours of layering and blending. **The Process:** 1. **Design Consultation:** We start with your idea. You give us the theme (anime, galaxy, pop culture, or luxury monograms) and we figure out how to make it fit your specific shoe or bag silhouette. 2. **The Prep:** This is the most crucial part. Whether it's genuine leather or coated canvas like a Goyard or Louis Vuitton, we prep the surface to strip the factory wax. This makes the surface receptive to our paints. 3. **Painting:** We use professional-grade Angelus Direct leather paints. These are made to flex with the material, so your art won't crack when you're walking or creasing your sneakers. 4. **Finishing:** Every piece gets a protective top coat (matte, satin, or gloss) to seal the paint. **Common Questions:** * **Can I wash them?** Apparel like denim or tees is heat-set and machine washable on gentle cycles. For sneakers, we recommend a soft wipe-down; heavy monsoon use isn't recommended for any custom footwear. * **How long does it take?** Because this is fully manual work, we need about 3 to 5 weeks to get your gear from our studio to your doorstep. * **Can you paint anything?** Pretty much. If it’s leather, canvas, or denim, we can put our design on it. From glow-in-the-dark effects for parties to subtle, detailed character art, we bring the vibe you're after. ## About Mel's Make I'm the one behind the brush at Mel's Make, and I’m obsessed with turning your plain gear into hype-worthy art.
