Eyelet And Aglet Education

What is an Eyelet?

An eyelet is a small, metal-reinforced ring that lines a hole in fabric or leather, traditionally designed to guide laces, hooks, or fasteners. Beyond functionality, eyelets are key details that contribute to the visual refinement and durability of a garment or footwear piece.

How Are Eyelets Used?

Eyelets reinforce material where laces or cords pass through, preventing tearing or fraying while enhancing the elegance of the design. They transform a simple garment detail into a hallmark of craftsmanship, ensuring longevity without compromising style.

What is an Aglet?

An aglet is the small sheath, often crafted from metal, positioned at the end of a shoelace, cord, or drawstring. Though modest in size, the aglet performs a critical role in guiding laces through eyelets and preventing fraying. It also subtly elevates the overall presentation of the garment or footwear.
