MAKE YOU NOTICEABLE
For Urban Circus, each user must be highly visible for urban life in total freedom
Our mission is to design clothing and equipment that goes beyond their simple utility by improving not only functionality and comfort but also the feeling of belonging to the city, thus allowing everyone to fully flourish in this dynamic environment.
With our reversible jackets you can be either very stylish or very visible by standing out.
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 high visibility for eco-riders.
To improve our daily movements, be seen, stay dry, not sweat and above all stay stylish!”
Henri de Kergorlay & Quentin Xavier
Co-founders of Urban Circus
BE VISIBLE, EVEN FROM A FAR, EVEN AT NIGHT.
In the city, moving around peacefully requires anticipation.
In short, you have to see but above all be seen. And by far.
With Urban Circus, you are visible up to 300 meters and at night you are bright, you reflect.
BE SUPERB. ASSUME YOUR LACE
In the city, fluidity and harmony depend on the attitude of users.
Show yourself admirably, show off your splendor. With Urban Circus clothing you always look great. Naturally.
BE CONFIDENT. ENSURE, YOU WILL REASSURE
In the city, the freedom to go is first and foremost a question of trust.
In oneself, as in others. With Urban Circus clothing, you reassure as much as you insure. And we'll give it back to you.
