2013_Vulpine_Lancashire_2175Vulpine sample sale starts Friday
British bike clothing brand Vulpine is holding its first physical (as opposed to online) sample sale in London starting this Friday and running until Sunday.
Vulpine promise big discounts of up to 80% across a broad range of clothing including merino wool items, jackets, trousers and accessories. This includes gear for both winter and summer and for both sexes, and it covers different sizes and colours.
“We expect there to be a mad dash at the beginning of Friday to grab the best bargains, calming down a bit after Friday lunchtime,” says Vulpine founder Nick Hussey.
“Rapha’s sample sales usually end of with near riots, and judging by how our online sales go, I’m expecting some sort of friendly cycling cataclysm ourselves!”
The Vulpine sample sale takes place at Shop 7, Dray Walk, The Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL.
The opening times are:
Friday 30 January 10am - 7pm
Saturday 31 January 10am - 7:30pm
Sunday 1 February 11am - 5pm
In related news, Vulpine is teaming up with Sir Chris Hoy to launch a brand of cycling apparel called Hoy Vulpine. The new range includes bib shorts and race jerseys as well as commuter wear.
road.cc spent a couple of days last week with Vulpine and Sir Chris in Mallorca where they’d gone to shoot the clothing. We’ll give you more on the entire range on 9 February. The official launch is at The London Bike Show which runs 12-15 February.

And presumably you don't have as much media over there stoking the divisions and encouraging the view of cyclists as "other"?

Simple solution: any vehicle, that hasn't been reported as stolen, being driven by a disqualified driver gets scrapped.

I presume that Lime bikes are dockless? So, how would Lime be able to stop someone just leaving the bike anywhere at all?

I've had one pair of vulpine shorts and they started to disintegrate the second I got them out of the bag and lasted about 3 months
Sell it?
They've just knocked the stuffing out of the seconhand market with this confounded sale!!!
Might give it to the dogs as something to sleep on.
Looks like my timing for a trip to London this weekend was worth it, and with a boosted pay packet from me being paid all the holidays I couldn't take when I was off sick last year.
Can you stop telling people about this please? For one thing when I sneak a bagful of goodies home tomorrow it will ruin my claims of 'had it for ages'.
Stuff a north sale, how about something in the South West? Bristol would be good
I don't think we have to be exclusive, sales all over would be great (Bristol suits me, though). If only there was a way people from all areas could access the sale without having to travel to London...I've heard talk of something called "The Internet" that could possibly do this but it might be science fiction.
kenny van vlaminck is my favourite cyclist.
North sale...
Stable pricing helps a stable economy, but bartering and negotiation should really be how you get a bargain. Knowing the value of something is actually an asset.
Matt Stevens looking dapper
He's a top bloke (it's Matt Stephens by the way).
Long way to travel to maybe find something I like in my size.
+1 on a similar sale Up North.
Be nice to have a sample sale for us up North
I'd be there in a heartbeat. I need some more Vulpine in my life
I like my Vulpine jacket.
I don't see the point of these sales that ultimately devalue the brand.
I won't be going to the sale.
I like 'em too. But as my father would have said, there's never an excuse for paying full price.
Good, more options for me.
Its a Sample Sale. The clue is in the name.
Its stuff they cant normally sell because they are samples.
Hence the name.
Sales don't devalue the brand. You might feel like you've spent too much on something, though. Personally, I always try to avoid paying full price for anything. I don't think there's anything I want so much that I need to.
