ประวัติศาสตร์แฟชั่น
Simon Mottram founded Rapha in London in 2004. The brand introduced a shift in cycling fashion by replacing bright, logo-heavy jerseys with understated, high-quality wool blends and technical fabrics. Its cultural significance grew through the establishment of the Rapha Cycling Club and a high-profile partnership with Team Sky. This collaboration influenced professional cycling aesthetics and popularized the concept of luxury performance apparel within the global cycling community.
