basically ‘build-a-bear’ for adults
bangkok is home to so many cool, unique, and niche fashion boutiques. since i’ve discovered the curated home-grown boutiques there, platinum fashion mall & night markets stopped being my go-to shopping spots.
pace shoes is one of them. they offer the widest and most stunning range of heels & accessories for you to basically “build-a-bear”. their colourful, extravagant floral heels are their signature, but they also offer a range of other designs, including plaid and metallic options.
choose your size, shoe design, heel height, colour & material, and finally top it off with as many accessories as you wish 🌸🌸
do take note that:
1. the studio is by appointment only, do whatsapp them beforehand. it’s also located rather far from the city centre, so decide if it’s worth the time & journey
2. the shoes are made-to-order, so you’ll have to wait approx. 3 weeks for them to ship it to you (i got mine in 2 weeks tho!)

One of the most exciting aspects of shopping at Pace Shoes is the ability to truly personalize every element of your footwear. From the moment you arrive at their appointment-only studio, you’re immersed in an experience that feels more like crafting a beloved keepsake than simply buying shoes. Their signature floral heels, crafted from materials such as smooth leather, crocodile leather, furry textures, and metallic finishes, allow for endless creativity. I personally found the process to be incredibly enjoyable—selecting the heel height, shoe design, and then topping off the look with various accessory options like blue orchids or white metallic flowers made the experience uniquely fulfilling. It’s almost like the grown-up version of build-a-bear, but with stunning heels you can proudly wear. Be aware that the studio’s location in Lat Phrao means it’s about a 25-30 minute ride from central Bangkok, so planning your visit ahead is essential. Since the shoes are made-to-order, there is a short wait of about two to three weeks, but this adds to the charm and exclusivity of receiving a truly custom product. If you’re someone who values quality craftsmanship and enjoys the thrill of uniquely tailored fashion items, Pace Shoes offers an unparalleled shopping experience that stands out from typical shopping malls or night markets. The ability to mix and match your heels and accessories even after purchase means your style can evolve, offering versatility that few boutiques provide. Whether you’re after a fun, summery look or a simple everyday heel, this is a must-visit for footwear lovers in Bangkok.
