Gropes

So so great.

Gropes are unique lace-up leather handlebar grips. They offer the bike customisation enthusiast an individual and eye-catching alternative to the usual handlebar coverings. The idea was inspired by original leather-wrap grips, but recreated with a twist. Gropes are the brainchild of London-based designers and bike lovers, Akira Chatani and Ryo Yamada, and they are the first product to be launched by their company, Nonusual.
