New Patches: Wear Your Rave Story
TL;DR: Qravers London launches new rave patch collection featuring original artwork from Jamcee, SunChome, and classic acid house designs. Iron-on and PVC patches for customizing festival gear and celebrating 30+ years of UK rave culture.

Why Patches Work
They're versatile - iron them on for quick application, sew them for durability, or use both methods for gear that sees serious action. They're durable - quality patches survive muddy festival fields, sweaty warehouse raves, and countless washes. They're personal - mix and match to create something completely unique whilst connecting to 30+ years of rave culture.
Got a favourite jacket with a worn spot? A festival hoodie that's seen better days? Patches give old rave gear new life. Cover up the damage with something that adds character rather than hiding it. It's the same ethos behind our sustainable approach to rave clothing - make it last, make it yours.
How to Apply
Iron-on patches work on cotton, cotton blends, denim, and wool. Heat your iron to 350°F, place a thin cloth over the patch, press firmly for 30 seconds, flip the garment inside out, and iron the back for another 30 seconds. Let it cool and you're done.
For maximum durability, sew around the edges after ironing. Use thread that matches the patch border for seamless stitches, or a complementary colour for a handmade vibe.
Make It Yours
Sometimes you've got to stand out to fit in. Each patch tells a story - whether you're customising a denim jacket, cargo hat, or festival bag, you're carrying forward the culture. Browse the collection and find the designs that speak to your inner rave gremlin.
