MAKE YOU NOTICEABLE
At Urban Circus, we design clothing and accessories that allow for movement, protect against the elements, and assert a resolutely urban style.
Designed for those who live the city to the fullest, our pieces combine technical sophistication, comfort, and bold aesthetics. More than just functional, our products allow you to navigate the city with confidence, whatever the weather.
With our reversible jackets, you can go from understated to statement-making—and make every journey an expression of yourself.
OUR MANIFESTO
At Urban Circus, we are committed to your freedom of movement with complete confidence: opt for useful fashion for soft mobility.
We are convinced that they will liberate the city, making it healthier, more peaceful, more accessible and more entertaining.
However, this will only be possible if we share urban space with confidence:
cars, bicycles, e-scooters, scooters and pedestrians, all actors in this revolution to seek a balanced and harmonious coexistence.
To achieve this balance, we must change the way we are perceived in the city. We must be visible to be respected.
Forget your dark gear and unsuitable raincoats.
With Urban Circus, calmly opt for freedom of movement.
Assume your style, Be visible, Be superb, Be comfortable, Be confident: Be remarkable.
"Because we want to regain the pleasure of moving freely despite a sometimes hostile urban environment, we create collections combining fashion and technicality for eco-riders.
To improve our daily movements, be remarkable, stay dry, not sweat and above all stay stylish!”
