TGI-Saturday: A Holiday Wallet Story: Patryk's Burnin' Rubber Piccola Wallet

Thanks Patryk.
all photos Red Dots Cycling





During the holidays we received this well worn and loved Piccola wallet from Patryk of Nelson, BC.

He sent us his wallet for repair. This wallet originates from the time before we changed our name to Red Dots Cycling so we believe it's 3-4 years old. Patryk requested that we 'stitch it so I could get another few years of good times out of it.' It warms us that this wallet is so well used, apparent is the fabric and stitching has worn through. And, the rubber has also soften considerably. Amazingly our homemade printed 'Galsudio' label has remained in tact. Unfortunately, we no longer are able to make rubber products in our tiny studio. We love Patryk's story so much we decided to gift him one of the last remaining Piccola wallets we have in stock. 

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Patryk may you have good times out of it!

We are busy working on re-branding our logo, new website and blog. As we are all about handmade, changes will take time. We promise it won't take too long. Stay tune!

TGIF: Kid's Custom Cycling Caps: Bicycling, New Caps Available At Hors Categorie

Bicycling, December issue.

Hey kids! Why do grown ups have all the fun wearing our stylish cycling caps? No longer.

Once again we are in Bicycling magazine - this time in the December issue, 'Kit 'Em Up.' Now, kids can wear our handmade cycling caps because kids love to bike and look good doing it. Our regular cycling caps are available in two sizes (S/M & M/L). However, we have also made kids cycling caps. And after going through many test trials to determine sizing, we have come up with one universal size for our kid's cap...

Our kid's sizing: XS (19.5 - 21 inches).

Of course, our kid's cycling caps are made exactly the same as our grown up caps with attention to detail crafted using quality materials. It's a tinier version of our regular sized caps.

Depending upon fabric availability, we can make most of the caps we have in our online shop. Cost is the same. Currently, production time for all custom caps is 4 weeks. Just convo me with your choice of cap and please include a second choice: info@reddotscycling.ca





A new shipment of caps arrived at Hors Categorie, Montreal...

The New Urbane Rider Cycling Cap

Urbane Rider Cycling Cap

Urbane: reflecting elegance, sophistication, especially in expression.


Good quality wool is hard to come by. The last time we came across quality wool was our 
Brits Cap (unfortunately discontinued). On our recent visit to our fabric supplier we came up with a new discovery. We are happy to introduce our new... Urbane Rider Cycling Cap! 

Made from Superfine 100% wool in brown/black classic plaid, this stylish cycling cap will give you a look of refinement on or off the bike. 

Proudly handmade and embroidered in our Vancouver studio.






The stylish Urbane cap includes our classic embroidered logo.
