La vie à l'atelier

Life in the workshop | January

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new story series: Life in the Workshop!

Life at the Atelier : a series of monthly stories that will allow you to follow the evolution of Velocidade, discover the behind-the-scenes of the workshop and immerse yourself in our ever-changing universe. Each month, we will share with you news from behind the scenes of the workshop : creations that are emerging, ideas that are taking shape, new challenges , our inspirations, our desires.

Arts and Crafts Pass

As part of the Pass Métiers d'Art , which aims to maintain and develop local crafts and know-how in Occitanie, we have benefited for the second time from aid from @laregionoccitanie and the Ariège Chamber of Trades.

We received three new machines just before Christmas! Machines that will bring us greater comfort in the manufacture of our bags, while also improving the durability of our products! We now have the opportunity to work more efficiently with elastic materials, as will be the case for our ultra-distance vest planned for spring 2025. And with this dual-feed industrial sewing machine, ideal for thick materials, we benefit from considerable comfort.


Gallery 2024

We've gathered the best moments of 2024 in a photo gallery to inspire you as you embark on this new year. Let's make 2025 a memorable year, guided by the lessons of yesterday and the dreams of tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

To start this year off right, we've taken the time to create an FAQ page to answer all the frequently asked questions we receive via email or social media. The most frequently asked question is: " Are your bags waterproof? " You can now find the answers to all these frequently asked questions here .


The soul of speed

We were delighted to welcome Antoine Bernays into our workshop. His attentive and curious gaze focused on every aspect of our Velocidade project.


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.

Ricardo Vieira

At Velocidade, we believe in cycling as the future of transportation! We've created a set of responsible bike and backpack luggage, designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Mirepoix, Ariège. To learn more about our commitments, click here .

MADE IN FRANCE

We wanted to create our bags with a waterproof and UV-resistant canvas certified Oeko-Tex made in France.

DESIGN

Products designed to last a long time with savings on raw materials and that can be repaired, a sustainable design.

If it breaks, don't worry, we'll repair your bag!

RICARDO VIEIRA - FOUNDER/DESIGNER/COUTURIER

Ricardo has long been thinking 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 low-carbon solution for everyday travel, Ricardo decided to create Velocidade, and began designing and creating handmade bags, in a completely artisanal way.
