We make clothes for the in-between.

Pyrane started on a bike. Our founder Lotte Verhoeven spent six years riding 11 km to a tailoring job in a coat that was beautiful on the hanger and miserable in the rain.

So she started cutting her own: tailored enough for the meeting, technical enough for the ride there. Friends asked for one, then their friends. In 2017 the side project got a name, a studio on the Keilestraat and a workshop partner in Porto.

Today we are eleven people in Rotterdam and twenty-two in Porto. We still test every piece on our own commutes before it goes on sale — and we still repair every piece we have ever sold, for free.

2017

Founded in Rotterdam by a commuter who was tired of being wet.

Seasonal sales. Fair prices all year instead of fake discounts.

Mission

Four things we will not trade.

Move first

Every pattern starts from a reach, a stride or a lean. If it looks right standing still but fights you on the bike, it is not finished.

Repair over replace

Free repairs for life, on everything we make. Every repair is logged and fed back into the next pattern.

Few colours, many years

Black, white, grey and one signal yellow. Pieces that combine with everything you already own outlive any trend.

Know the hands

We name our workshops, visit them four times a year and pay above the regional wage. You can visit them too.

Team

The people behind the pattern.

Small on purpose. Everyone here rides, runs or walks to work — and wears the samples first.

Come for a fitting, drop off a repair or just borrow a sample for a lap around the block.
