The women’s range features the Active Jacket, Active Tights, Active Shorts, Active T-Shirt, Active Tank Top and Active Long Sleeve.

The accessories offering comprises the: Essentials Bag, Tech Musette, Tech Tote, Cotton Crew Socks and Ankle Strap.

Fayrouz Salem, Rapha head of lifestyle, commented: “Living and moving in the city requires both comfort and style in your clothing.

“We’ve made products with exactly this in mind using technical and functional elements from our performance cycling range, applied to lifestyle silhouettes. For someone like myself who lives in Amsterdam and commutes by bike daily, this is a dream come true.

“We’ve created pieces that work on the bike, without having to compromise on style, bridging the gap we saw in the market.”
