Restrap

Restrap, the birth of an innovative bicycle accessory brand

From straps to all kinds of backpacks

Restrap's beginnings can be traced back to a sewing machine, imagination and a necessity: straps. In 2010, Nathan Hughes was 18 years old and spent a lot of his free time riding his bike in the Yorkshire hills. Nathan was happy with most of the equipment he was using, but there was one thing that didn't quite fit: the straps that attached his feet to the pedals, which broke easily. So Nathan had the idea of making his own pedal straps, as at that time there was not as extensive a catalog as there is today.

Using an old leather belt, Nathan made his own pedal straps. The straps he designed were very different from those that existed at the time, usually mounted perpendicular to the pedal, but Nathan attached them diagonally, providing a better grip on the foot. Nathan's invention was a success. After making pedal straps for himself, his friends became interested and wanted bicycle straps as well. Nathan kept improving the product, until he ventured into sewing bicycle bags, saddlebags and all kinds of bicycle accessories.

Restrap's growth

Due to the increase in the number of products he manufactured and customer interest, Restrap went from strength to strength. Leaving behind his small workshop where he made his own products, Nathan formed a tight-knit team of outdoor enthusiasts who work on all Restrap's production and product innovation in one place. Today, they are based on the outskirts of Leeds, Yorkshire.

Restrap's work stands out for being 100% handmade using sustainable and zero kilometer materials, produced in the UK. In this way Restrap ensures that everything meets its high quality standards.

Its philosophy and purpose

Restrap's cornerstone is to create and innovate products that improve its customers' experience, and this involves creating products from scratch or improving them, as it did with the diagonal strap. To carry out this process, they come up with their own ideas, design their products and build them until they achieve a unique product made 100% by the brand itself.

For Restrap, respecting the environment is essential. Leeds is a Yorkshire country town where nature and tranquility reign supreme. The Restrap team takes advantage of the weekends to go cycling around the city to enjoy nature and test their own products.
