This is the first and perhaps the greatest creative inspiration of this handmade know-how...
It was my grandmother's artistic and meticulous soul that was my greatest inspiration.
I watched him do these gestures for hours, I learned to knit, to use a loom and even to sew on his machine by his side. I have unforgettable memories of this complicity! In this image, I am making a dress for my mother, on my grandmother's machine, 25 years later. The circle is complete.
Velocidade is the feeling of freedom given by speed, the wind that makes your eyes water, the sound of the air blowing near your ears, a little taste of adrenaline that makes you feel good.
At Velocidade, we believe in cycling as the means of transport of the future! We have created a set of responsible luggage for bikes and backpacks, designed and handmade in our workshop in Mirepoix, Ariège. To learn more about our commitments, come here .
MADE IN FRANCE
We wanted to create our bags with a waterproof and UV-resistant canvas certified by Oeko-Tex and made in France.
DESIGN
Products designed to last a long time with savings on raw materials and which can be repaired, a sustainable design.

In case of damage, no worries, we will repair your bag!
COMMITMENT
As a committed brand, we donate 1% of our turnover to help preserve the environment.
RICARDO VIEIRA-FOUNDER/DESIGNER/COUTURIER
Ricardo has been thinking for a long time about reducing his environmental impact, whether through his sporting practice of cycling, running, or in his everyday life, having decided to be vegetarian more than 20 years ago. Curious and passionate, he started creating and manufacturing his first objects when his grandfather gave him a sewing machine for his 17th birthday, and since then, he has worked to create, repair, and manufacture with the same energy and in the same direction, that of sobriety and localism. Convinced that the bicycle is the ultimate decarbonized solution for everyday travel, Ricardo decided to create Velocidade, and started designing and creating handmade bags, in a completely artisanal way.
