Bruised Sabrina - KSZN RPS, WRST, CZPK, and new PSK colors


This time we've prepared a long preview of things to come. Despite lousy May weather, with it's Autumn-like winds and rains, we headed for the Frascati parc in Warsaw to shoot a few new Mufa Wear items. Sabrina had just returned from a track race in Cottbus, Germany. Fresh wounds visible in the pictures were the immediate results of a fall on a steep, concrete track. Blood was shed. You see, for Sabrina fixed gear is not a hipster machine. She rides hard, for real.


As for new items - in a few days we'll be puting up separate posts about individual products. But for now, here it is.

KSZN RPS - a soft, vegetarian version of our trusted KSZN pouch. Outer layer is a pixelated camo rip-stop (used by the Finnish army for uniforms) – cotton for a soft touch + syntetics for durability. Inside, you'll find bright pink polyester, and velcro closure. The whole thing is highly weather resistant.


We made two functional modifications to the original KSZN design. First of all, we sewed reflective tape on both sides to increase visibility on the road. Second of all, we added an adjustable strap (2 cm wide) with snaphooks on both sides. It's easy to put it on, or take off completely, should you prefer to use KSZN RPS as pouch for storing stuff and carrying it in another, bigger bag. Now, you don't need a belt to carry KSZN RPS on your waist!

Girls and 100% macho men can easily transform it into a stylish purse.


Inside, you can fit a small notebok, a pen, a phone, a small tool. More details soon, in a separate post.

Price: 16 Euro.


CZPK is a cycling hat everyone looks good in. A bit dissapointed by the look, and quality of cycling caps available on the market (well, at least those from the lower pricepoint - we're not competing with Outlier's high end stuff here), we decided to make one ourselves. Mufa CZPK is a classic four-panel construction, but it's quite a bit shallower than most cycling hats. You won't fit dreadlocks underneath, but if you have a bit more, shall we say, standard haircut, it'll fit like a dream. We made the beak soft, so the cap can be easily folded and stuffed in a pocket without the risk of damaging it. If the beak ever looses it's shape, simply iron it on low heat, and presto - it's as good as new. Mufa Wear CZPK's are washable, of course.

There're two sizes: S/M, and L/XL. For now, three color versions: very dark navy blue (with a yellow-green band inside), black, and Finnish camo with pink undeside of the beak (the exact colors of the KSZN RPS).

There's another thing about CZPK, but let's leave it until the separate post appears :-)

Price: 16 Euro.


New colors of the PSK - your favorite ankle bands rescuing your pants. New colors, new patterns - ask, and you will be answered ;-)

Price: 7 Euro.


WRST is a bracelet for the forgetful. We used the same recycled, natural leather scraps we make PSK's of. WRST is not only about looks - besides vivid colors, and snap closure (two positions: one for men, the other for women), there's an eyelet for attaching a bike lock key. Thanks to WRST it's always close at hand (quite literally), and less likely to be lost.

Various colors, limited editions - ask before purchasing.

Price: 7 euro.


Many thanks to Sabrina for modelling despite still being sore. Big up!
