Short Gropes - Honey leather Beige laces

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 (who also works at ico design) and Ryo Yamada, and they are the first product to be launched by their company, Nonusual. The names Nonusual and Gropes are the result of some creative thinking by strategic writers Regard. Gropes are handmade from high quality, vegetable-tanned Italian leather, selected for Nonusual by Ally Capellino. Chosen for its flexibility and softness, this leather improves with age and requires very little maintenance after an initial application of dressing. The leather is pre-punched with lacing holes and supplied with laces and cork bar end plugs.
