Cycling streetwear, in a women's cut
T-shirts, sweatshirts and caps with cycling drawings and jokes that every woman who rides will get.
Straight from the saddle to the street
The Vandal is cycling streetwear: T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants and caps you'll happily wear after training, at the café or on an ordinary Tuesday. The designs come from cycling's history, legends and inside jokes.
You don't have to be a pro to get them. It's enough to love cycling. The brand dresses pros and the Belgian national team too, but the clothes are made for you.
It started with a birthday ride
In 2012 Toon Claessens designed a T-shirt for a friend's birthday ride, featuring Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck. Everyone liked it so much that in 2013 he started printing small batches in Antwerp under the name The Vandal.
Since then the pros wear it too: the brand works with two-time road world champion Lotte Kopecky, and Wout van Aert stood on the podium in a The Vandal cap. Today it's sold in 120 shops, and Toon still designs the clothes.
