How cool would it be if you could design your own thongs to suit your personal taste in fashion? Well, thanks to the launch of RIVETZ, an Australian company that has managed to combine modern fashion with the latest in Internet technology, it’s now easy to create your own funky thongs online and be wearing your special creations in just a matter of days.
As well as being able to choose your thong colour schemes, mixing and matching the bases and straps as you please, RIVETZ allows you to accessorise your thongs with a range of more than a dozen cute metal studs, or rivets, that attach to the straps. The whole designer and ordering process is driven from the RIVETZ website, which allows you to literally build your thongs from the ground up.
“We are really revolutionising the fashion market because, for the first time, people can go online and actually fully customise the item they want to purchase,” says RIVETZ founder Polly Davenport. “We are enabling people to express their style in a whole new way."
