Patchwork Vans

  • Rohan Farrell

Customers who love vans quite literally 'love their trainers to pieces', even though the trainers are built to last, they, unfortunately, aren't built to last forever - despite this customers will wear the trainer until the last bit of fabric has fallen and the same goes for skateboard, they skate until they can't anymore and this is where these services comes in - Patchwork vans uses broken skateboards and torn van trainers to create a new product for customers. Saving materials and helping the environment by letting Vans products live a longer life and not a life in landfills.

Patchwork Vans is a service that allows customers to get their old worn-out Van trainers and broken Skateboards to get repaired using recycled materials and donated materials.
With Patchwork Vans, customers will not only be able to still wear their beloved trainers but will also be able to have an original design that is exclusive to them. No one shoe let alone pair will be the same. In terms of design, the possibilities are endless. 

All customers have to do is visit one of the Patchwork Vans pop up workshops to either donate shoes, recycle them or to have a consultation with a designer about patching up your vans and or skateboard.
