Collection: Derapage

Dérapage –with an acute é- is a French term mainly used in car racing (though also in skiing). It describes a rapid way of negotiating a bend for a racing car or motorbike – calling for a mixture of driver panache and maximum reliance on machine performance.

Some skilfully coordinated manoeuvres are required: a daring operation even for an expert. Like the Derapage of eyewear: “The look is for those who dare”.
