hmmm, sounds interesting. Would it be possible for you to make some lace tags similar to the consortium ones, with 'dj wildthing' instead of consortium - and how much would it cost? I would probably need 10 pairs...

The Consortium tags are made from anodized Aluminium but if they were exactly the same size your probably looking at about around £22 a pair in 925 Silver plus original casting fees which should be around £15.
They'd have to be made out of Silver as that's the cheapest metal I use.
You might get something as simple as this made by a local engineering firm, they would press it and anodize it to get the colour in.
So if you had 10 pairs you'd be looking at £235 in total with subsequent pairs only costing £22 without further casting charges.
I was expecting one offs but to do what your thinking certainly works out cheaper.

I know where your coming from but I think some of them, especially the more contemporary styles that are starting to come out, look kinda cool.

Anything could be made homes !
How about half a dozen VW's chasing each other over the laces of each shoe ?

would these be silver or gold looking then? I assume silver since that's the material used. What if they were made out of brass instead, would that be cheaper or more expensive? I don't think the price is too bad, although I can't afford it at the moment, but I might just get back to you on this.

Definitely still want to get some customs made Mr. Pure, not sure what I'm after yet though, I don't want to rush into it and then have some good ideas when I've already had them done!
I'm working on it though!
I was thinking maybe a big letter W, around the same size as the IB tags? or something the same size a s aregular lace tag, totally flat and with a W pressed into it.
