Special knit edition gilet at Rapha
Cycling brand Rapha is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a series of special edition products. The London-based label has teamed up with innovative knit atelier ByBorre, based in Amsterdam, to create a seamless jacquard gilet.

Made from a blend of merino wool and recycled synthetics it features a two-way zip, a chest pocket, side pockets and is available in two colourways. It will be sold online as well as in the Amsterdam and London Rapha Clubhouses, retailing at £200.

“Our collaboration with Rapha goes way back, and I’m excited that we were able to come together again to create something truly innovative. Through our digital platform, Rapha had access to our transparent textile supply chain, allowing them to create custom textiles that align with their vision while making conscious decisions throughout the design process,” commented ByBorre founder Borre Akkersdijk.
