GOT A QUESTION

Do you sell the Sneaker Stitch Makers Guide on its own?

No, our Makers Guide is only sold in our Makers and Basics Kits.

Can we buy and run a class for a group without being Accreditied? 

Yes you can.  Products will need to be purchased individually on the website by those making the shoes.  

I live in Brisbane, can I collect my order? 

Sadly at this stage we do not offer the option of pick up.

I want to buy your products wholesale!

Sneaker Stitch is a both a retailer and distributor.  We do not wholesle our products.  Teachers and Stores who are part of our Accreditation program have the ability to purchase stock for their classes at a partner discount. Find our more in our Work With Us page.

Do you sell fabric/laces/grommets/tool kits - on their own? 

On occasion Sneaker Stitch may sell these items at a Pop Up event or Craft Show but on our website our items are only sold as part of a kit.
