I use industrial-grade finishers and specific bonding agents to lock everything in. Whether you want a full-on neon drip or subtle gold leafing, I ensure the finish is waterproof, chip-proof, and actually wearable for daily use. If you’re here, you’re clearly not looking for basic. Whether you want to recreate a high-fashion look with monogram patterns or go wild with neon drips and ombre glitter, I’m all for it. The process starts with your ideas. You don’t need a perfect sketch—just a vibe. Maybe you saw a specific pattern online, or you have a crazy color combo in your head. We’ll mock that up digitally first so you know exactly what you’re getting before I touch the leather. When it comes to materials, I don't cut corners. I use Angelus leather paints because they flex with the shoe instead of cracking. For the 'bling' side of things—glitter, crystals, metallic accents—I use specialized adhesives that keep the sparkle stuck where it belongs. I’ve done everything from delicate floral hand-painting to full-shoe ombre glitter, and the goal is always the same: your shoes should look just as good after a month of walking as they do when you pull them out of the box. Since these are custom projects, I ask that you ship your new shoes to my Mumbai studio. Once they arrive, I strip the factory finish, paint them, and apply the final seal. It’s a 2 to 3-week process, but that time is necessary for the curing, which is what makes these wearable art rather than just display pieces. Have a wild idea or a specific color palette? Let's talk it through and see how we can put it on your feet. ## About Ridhii Makkar Hi, I'm Ridhii. I believe sneakers shouldn't just be footwear; they should be the loudest thing you're wearing. I obsess over the details—the exact placement of every crystal or the perfect gradient on a drip—because if your shoes are going to make a statement, it better be a loud one.
