The Paul Smith + Cinelli ‘Artist Stripe Fade’ Bottle Cage takes what could easily pass as a piece at an art gallery and makes it a useful item for storing hydration while on the go. British fashion designer, Paul Smith and Cinelli, the renowned Italian bicycle manufacturing company, have joined forces to bring bold color and immaculate design to the world of cycling accessories. Cinelli has held a stake in the cycling market for well over 70 years, as it was founded by Cino Cinelli, a former pro road racer and Italian Cyclists’ Association president. Cinelli believes that design means emotion, know-how, uniqueness, quality, function, creativity, innovation, materials, technique, and shape.
The Paul Smith + Cinelli ‘Artist Stripe Fade’ Bottle Cage is inspired by Smith’s “Artist Stripe” motif and is made from lightweight carbon fiber. The flawless design keeps the bottle firmly in place on a bike frame, yet allows easy insertion and removal of the bottle as one remains focused while riding. It is suggested that the Paul Smith + Cinelli ‘Mountain’ water bottles in black or white are an excellent way to complement the color scheme of this sophisticated, eye-catching accessory.
