1 – FURSAC X CYCLES ALEX SINGER

Fursac is proud to resume its collaborations celebrating French craftsmanship and savoir-faire with world-renowned bicycle maker Alex Singer Cycles. Established in 1938, the company has dreamed up a new racing bike for Fursac with all the modern technical features with a suitably hard-wearing and trusty frame.

Frame fully handmade in Reynolds 725 steel,
Groupe Campagnolo Centaur 11-gear silver double-tray drivetrain,
Stronglight headset,
Nitto handlebars, seat post and bike stems,
Deda Tre tires,
Mavic Cosmic SLR Carbon wheels,
Brooks Swift saddle,
Look pedals

The racing bike comes in black glazed enamel with a gloss varnish and blue handlebar grip.

All materials and key components were carefully selected and assembled in Alex Singer’s historic Levallois-Perret workshop with the attention to detail that makes Singer’s reputation. Each bike is a work of art in its own right, loved by cycling enthusiasts for their bespoke frames designed to perfectly fit the driver’s body and enhance their riding experience.

The bike is exhibited during the summer in several Fursac stores: Lille – Annecy – Passy – Richelieu Paris.

A “Fursac & Alex Singer” cotton t-shirt was developed for the occasion, discover it here.

Creative Update

1 – ENDLESS LOVE ACT II – SANDRO

In 2021, SANDRO Woman design studio gave new life to fabrics from previous collections with the upcycled Endless Love Act I collection.

For the Spring-Summer 2022 season, the Woman studio has imagined Act II of the Endless Love collection. This 100% eco-responsible creative capsule was made from old stocks of linen or cotton fabrics.

Sun skirt, boxer shorts, shirt or top, SANDRO’s creative teams have designed summer pieces in a fuchsia or purple floral print. True to the feminine masculine game, an oversized shirt in striped poplin and a ruffled cape shirt with fine stripes bring contrast to the range. And because summer is synonymous with the beach, SANDRO has imagined a one-piece swimsuit in waffle technical fabric.

The Parisian fashion House will donate all profits from this capsule to the SANDRO FOR THE FUTURE fund, which has two main missions: to raise funds through capsule collections and eco-responsible actions, and then to donate them to solidarity causes that echo the SANDRO family spirit.

3 – PARISIAN SUMMER – CLAUDIE PIERLOT

The new take on Parisian Summer promises to be full of surprises!

Claudie Pierlot offers its users to discover Paris in another way by sharing places in the city not to be missed on its Instagram account @claudiepierlot. The idea is not to share addresses already known to all but small restaurants, parks, cool places which characterize Paris perfectly. These stories are kept in the new permanent City Guide bubble that was created for the occasion.

HIGH SUMMER

July. August. For two months, Paris is empty of Parisians. Determined to make the most of the calmer atmosphere of the capital, it’s time to put on your blouse with the oversize collar, the infamous Claudie collar. Insta tuned to your favourite places — the ones you haven’t had time to try yet. Your sunglasses perched on your nose, or in your Anouck bag. Fancy a day in the sun?

CLAUDIE IN THE CITY

To find your way around the city, follow Christelle Yambayisa, Eleonore Leojeanne, Jade de Brito, Chloé Lecareux, Zoia Mossour and Dolores Doll. A selected bunch of Parisians, as lively as their city and far from the well-worn clichés. We rediscover the banks of the Seine with them. The narrow cobbled streets. Or the terrace of La Palette.

CHARM AND ATTITUDE

The uniform for the day? A long tie-dye-style waistcoat. A suit buttoned over bare skin. A knitted twinset that screams preppy and boyish all at once. And a Liberty print summer coat. Nothing can stop the energy of a true Parisian — not even the red-hot concrete.
