Cobranding Furygan X Viba - french haute couture

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Refined leather with elegant colours and a daring bike, #furygan and Viba shared their know-how to create a unique model, a tribute to the all the women that are freely enjoying their passion for motorcycles and motorcycling.

Sharing common values and an eye for detail, #furygan and Viba began their collaboration with the will to underline femininity. The result is a bike with no compromise - the #lara800 - and an exclusive leather jacket. An iron hand in a velvet glove, with french handmade craftmanship as a guideline.

Viba specialise in designing and manufacturing tailor-made motorcycles. It’s the Brutale 800 of the prestigious manufacturer MV Agusta that has been used as a basis for the #lara800. Each bike required more than three months of work, the skil l of a team of passionate French craftsmen and state-of-the-art techniques to transform it.

At #furygan, passion for leather craftmanship gave birth to the Legend and Legend Lady jackets. These off the peg jackets, cut completely in France, are the starting point of the exclusive jacket imagined to accompany the #lara800. This jacket represents a testimony of the know-how which the brand cultivates and has maintained since 1969. By selecting the same luxurious leather  as used in high quality, designer leather bags, #furygan combines safety and elegance. The jacket Lara Legend Lady is accompanied by a matching bag.

This accompanying women’s accessory was drawn by Viba and manufactured by #furygan strengthening the link between the two companies.

The future owner of this unique #lara800 #furygan will receive her jacket tailor-made jacket, and will have the option, to choose a jacket from the range for her male pillion too.

• 7 people at #furygan pooled their skills (pattern design, cutting, stitching) around the creation of the jacket, the lining and the bag.
• 6m2 of leather used for the saddle, jacket, bag and bike. 
• 16 hours of development (from the first sketches to the 3D design) and one 3D impression to prototype the bag aluminum support.
• 14 hours of industrial machining (two for the bronze that was used to heat stamp the chest of the jacket with the name of the bike, two for the front light cover and 10 for the bag support). 
• 4 personalised laser engraved poppers, underlini ng the collaboration both on the collar of the jacket and on the bag.
