The Designer Making Cycle Safety Fashionable

'The Cyclist‘ is a series of bags developed by young French-Dutch designer Julie Thissen. The collection is specifically created for the modern, urban cyclist, and her creations are beautiful to look at whilst not abandoning safety on a ride.

The leather bags are stylish, but also have weaves of reflective material through the surface, and the shoulder bag in the collection has an additional strap for secure wearing. 

"The starting point of the project was the wish for the pouches to fulfill three requests, which at first, seem almost contradictory," says Thissen.

"The backpacks had to be very sensible, dignified enough to be taken to work and able to improve the safety of the cyclists whilst on the road."
