With a growth rate of 213% in online sales this year, Huez uses advanced sportswear fabrics to create a truly stylish range of cycling clothing. Launched in 2014, the team, including a former designer from Paul Smith, has designed and manufactured cycling apparel sold to premium retail outlets.
Huez is a forward thinking brand. We use advanced sportswear fabrics to create a truly stylish range of cycling clothing that we think works brilliantly on and off the bike.
Problem:
We launched the brand in 2014, after we felt that most of the products available to the cycling market were too focused on a retro style, and manufactured with little attention to quality or modern design aesthetics. We saw an opportunity for a brand aimed squarely at the forward thinking cyclists who look to technology to improve their ride.

Key Milestones:
In 20 months we have partnered with high-end retailers such as The Conran Shop, Matches Fashion and Velorution. We already sell our clothing in shops in the UK, Europe and as far afield as Australia.
We were one of the cycling brands selected by Matches Fashion and since launching on their site have had multiple repeat orders. Recently we have agreed wholesale orders for our Spring Summer 2017 collection and received interest from cycling shops in Paris, Vienna, Madrid and London. These include names such as Harvey Nichols and Farfetch which together reach close to 13m users per month.
