It’s a well-known fact that a cyclist can never have too many cycling caps or musettes. I am grateful to Il Soigneur for this array of hand stitched loveliness:
Dene has been making musettes for a couple of years now. I’ve usually relied on sourcing older musettes from ebay, i’ve got a lovely Enfield Cycles bag and used to have a Mapperley Lightweights one, until i kindly gave it to someone else who was eyeing it up. It’s great to get my sticky paws on a newer version. I am particularly enamoured by the Harris Tweed number – tally-ho!
Dene has also recently branched out into another area of much interest to the cyclist’s psyche: producing a special blend of coffee. i have yet to try it, but as soon as i do i will review the arabica on these pages.
Il Soigneur is another part of the amazing bicycle-related culture and fellowship in Bristol, alongside Gavin Strange, the Bristol Bike Project, Boneshaker, Levrier Bags and many many others.
Coffee? Coffee!
Love the tweed too. Might have to look in to these. Does he do custom designs?
the tweed was custom…
i have a mercian one on order – he made a batch for mercian so i piggybacked onto the order.
