Made It Here — a Style Selection by Borough’s Graham McLoughlin
Style Selection #27 | Compiled by Graham McLoughlin.
Riding my bike dictates little what I wear on the bicycle. As I get older, I care less and less about fashion and more about timeless quality and simple style that’s practical for all seasons. Often the items are manufactured or made here in the UK, a reflection of my interest in local manufacturing and the stories and people behind each product.

These weird and wonderfully eccentric creations, are the great works of London based bicycle frame builder, Petor Georgallou

Simplify your life by separating your card payments. Hand crafted in Manchester from natural saddle leather.
