Inspired by Steve McQueen, science fiction and the great tradition of the French luxury, Jerome Coste has created Ruby, a collection of helmets for motorcyclists.

These luxury motorcycle helmets are modern in design but retro in inspiration (the chrome-plated trim round the edge of the helmet, the steel badge and the claret-colored lining made from nappa Lambskin which is reminiscent of the beauty of vintage sports cars…)

All Ruby helmets are manufactured from carbon fibres, a technology from the aerospace industry that guarantees maximum strength, ultra lightness and multiple air channels keep allow for ventilation to keep your head from getting overheated

A variety of colors and patterns are available – tere is even a line that is painted by Parisian graffiti artist, Honet, that sports a variety of colors and patterns.

Ruby helmets cost 550 euros or ($1100) and are available at L’Eclaireur, Colette….
