A Fully Fitted Fixie - In Leather?
Thu, Apr 16, 2009 19:41

Leather bike by Jacques FerrandWhilst trawling through the internet I came across this rather extravagantly decorated fixie. It was created by Jacques Ferrand, a trained traditional leather cutter and sewer. Jacques has his own shop, Crèvecoeur (23 r. Des Blancs Manteaux, Paris, France) and normally works on bags, shoes, and belts, either directly for customers under the name Etablissements Ferrand, or for labels such as Hermès but thought he would do something different. He has even covered a few skate boards. Perhaps it is a little quiet in the shop due to the recession?

Impressively leathery - though it's a shame he didn't try to do some leather tyres too
