Women’s international cycling media hub Voxwomen and new cycling clothing brand, I R I S have partnered together to launch a series of limited edition cycling accessories.
Designed exclusively by I R I S company owner and ex-professional cyclist Iris Slappendel, the first product in the series to be released is the limited edition Voxwomen caps which are available to purchase now.
The caps have been manufactured in Italy and are made from a breathable, wind-proof cotton and polyester mix. Further Voxwomen I R I S accessories collaborations will be announced imminently.
Designer and I R I S company owner Iris Slappendel commented: “Voxwomen has made a big contribution to women’s cycling since they arrived on the cycling scene. As a rider, I saw the difference they were making in helping to give fans a different perspective compared to other media outlets by giving an insight into the rider personalities and the stories behind the races.
“I decided to work with the team to help them to generate more interest about their brand and women’s cycling. You will recognise the logo and Voxwomen colors in the products that I design as part of this collaboration, but I also added a bright mint green, which has a beautiful contrast with the grey. The I R I S brand style has a graphic and colourful base – which is certainly highlighted in all of the Voxwomen designs.”
Voxwomen has previously partnered with Slappendel to design a bike accessory and found her attention to detail in every aspect of the design process to be of the highest possible standard.
Voxwomen owner Anthony McCrossan added: “It’s been a delight to work with Iris and her new I R I S product line is something that we expect many of our followers are already fans of. We hope that cyclists enjoy riding in the I R I S Voxwomen caps and accessories – not only are they helping us to raise awareness of women’s cycling in purchasing them, but they will be wearing some of the most popular accessories in the professional women’s peloton.”
