Give Your Sneakers a Makeover with PPMC Fabrics!

My little white sneakers are the queens of my summers: my beloved Bensimon canvas shoes, which I’ve decided to give a colorful makeover. Honestly, who hasn’t worn this kind of shoe before? (Let the one who’s never sinned throw the first stone!)

Anyway, I love my sneakers. But with their popularity, I find myself wearing the exact same pair as my sister, my friends, my coworkers, my little cousin—even my nephew!
And for someone like me who loves originality, that’s a little frustrating.

You know that feeling too, don’t you? Luckily, customizing your shoes the Papa Pique et Maman Coud way is super simple—and a lot of fun!

How to Customize Your Sneakers?

I want to turn my Bensimon sneakers into a colorful and unique pair using PPMC fabrics.
With just a few snips and a couple of stitches, voilà! You’ve created YOUR perfect pair.

Style Tips

Tie small fabric bows onto your shoes.
Replace your old laces with vibrant spaghetti cords from PPMC for a pop of color.
Not into sewing? No worries! Clip on one of our PPMC barrettes—with bows, hearts, or candy shapes—to your shoes for an instant playful touch.

This little girly project and tutorial were imagined by the blog Merci pour le chocolat (a favorite of the PPMC team!).

Let’s Go!

Grab your scissors. Pick your favorite fabric. Add some bows, hearts, or fun details. Your sneakers are waiting to shine.

Customize, stylize, and express your creativity—be the queen of summer with the cutest kicks around!
And of course, we’re curious—send us photos of your custom sneakers!
