    Couture Motorcycle Helmets for the Great Escape

    couture helmets.jpg

    No stranger to accidents, French designer Jérôme Coste has survived six cranial traumatisms, one of the contributing factors leading to his interest in crash helmets. Inspired by Steve McQueen, science fiction and Japanese biker gangs who eloquently blend street culture with vintage motorcycling, he founded Ruby in 2004.

    Made from carbon fiber and carefully detailed with chrome-plated trim, lambskin lining and a steel badge, the retro styling of the Pavilion collection is the ideal accessory for that painstakingly restored motorcycle you only bring out on Sundays.
