THOUSAND | Heritage Bike Helmet in Navy
Regular price $149.00 Sale price $89.00 $89.00Designed for urban city explorers or the weekend leisure cyclist, the minimalist Heritage bike helmets are inspired by the simplicity of vintage moto lids and the heritage colorways of the 50s and 60s. Featuring a built-in low-profile visor the Thousand Navy Heritage Bike Helmet is immaculately finished in a classic navy blue colour.
Dark blue has always whispered confidently as the shade of power and authority. The hue of preppy polo shirts, old school ties and admirals’ jackets. So it’s entertaining to subvert that old-school idea while you experience breakaway freedom on cycling wheels.
Be the captain of your own ship while cycling to the work office or doing kickflips at the local ramp. Smart riders who don a Thousand helmet know that they can enjoy their ride knowing that Thousand has your noggin covered. Worldwide safety certifications include Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2063:2008 (bike helmets) and ASTM 1492 (skateboarding and rollerskating).
And the magnetic buckle fastener can be operated by hand, so you can save your fingers from a pinch as well as your head.
Sizing: small 54 - 57cm, medium 57 - 59cm, large 59 - 62cm
Lightweight shell: 410g (small), 460g (medium); 490g (large)
Secret pop-lock for securing helmet with your lock

We know looks aren't everything. Gloria Hwang was actually inspired to launch Thousand to finally offer casual riders of bikes, skateboards, and scooters a good-looking bike helmet when her friend was tragically killed in a cycling accident, without a helmet.

“It is thrilling to create beauty, sensuality and excitement out of the invisible”
Quentin Bisch
BACK IN STOCK LATE FEB!
PRE-ORDER YOURS NOW!
An all-encompassing passion is what led Quentin Bisch, a former music student and artistic director of a performing company, to trust his nose and dedicate several years to studying fragrance composition and finding his true vocation.
All the hard work paid off when he was honoured with France's highest prize of 2020 Perfumer of the Year.
In Bois Imperial, freshly crushed and spicy thai basil leaves meet the sparkling peppery and grapefruit facets of Nepalese Timut Pepper absolute. A brilliant combination that contrasts perfectly with the bold woody signature of the fragrance.
A green, rich and earthy Haitian Vetiver oil echoes with Georgywood – an exclusive molecule with powerful cedarwood tones. This vibrating woody association is illuminated by the sophisticated floral of Givaudin's Petalia.
Majestic Akigalawood truly signs off the fragrance. This exclusive natural ingredient is upcycled from Patchouli by Givaudin. Its unique spicy-woody character is enhanced by a rich Indonesian Patchouli oil and a powerful, sustainable note of Ambrofix.
The Arts continues to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes such as Bois Imperial in the same way he might direct a theatre performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects.
Quentin has made fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloe, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange...

FORA STUDIOS | e-Gift Certificate

SOPHIE CONRAN | Greenhouse + Indoor Watering Can in Buttermilk
Regular price $78.50 $78.50A sensational example of Burgon & Ball’s collaboration with Sophie Conran, the latest generation of the British design dynasty. She brings her ‘modern country house’ style to a range of must-have garden tools and accessories, elevating the everyday for home gardeners and plant lovers.
Ergonomically, this tool is a joy to use. As with all things in life, it’s a matter of balance: the handle slides forwards easily in your hand as you tilt, the slender, angled spout to direct the pour for on-target watering. The result is more moisture where it’s needed and less waste of a valuable resource in a dry continent.
Behind this fusion of beauty and practicality is Burgon & Ball’s peerless metal-working skills, developed continually throughout the company’s 290-year history. The steel body is treated with a protective powder coating and a sophisticated matt finish in a range of colours, including Sophie’s choice of this deliciously creamy buttermilk hue.
A metal seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo on the top surface of the can adds the finishing touch and marks this out as a design of distinction. Pretty enough to leave out on the windowsill with pride.
