Cobbler Lane Designs is where spicy books, kawaii cuteness, and chaotic fandom joy collide—on crewnecks, gifts, and accessories that are just as bold and bookish as the readers who love them. This Filipina-owned, Chicago-based shop brings small-batch magic to conventions, mailboxes, and cozy reading nooks across the country.

The brand is run by Marie, a designer, mom of two boys, and wife to one very supportive husband who cheers on every new idea. Marie blends playful, bookish energy with thoughtful details and a lot of personality into everything Cobbler Lane creates.

You’ll often see her sister Michelle, Marie’s usual partner-in-crime, helping run the booth at conventions and events. What started as a small crafting shop selling at local high school craft shows has grown into a brand that now travels to fan conventions, connecting with readers and fandom lovers everywhere.

At conventions, Cobbler Lane shows up to represent the girlies who don’t always see themselves reflected in convention booths, spaces that are often male-driven. Our goal is simple: create merch that feels fun, bold, a little chaotic, and unapologetically bookish.

Cobbler Lane is more than a shop—it’s a vibe.

Come say hi at a convention or grab something that makes you smile.
