Medal Winning Window

We're so excited about the London 2012 Olympics starting tonight, we can hardly sit still. To get in the winning mood for all those medals we're going to win, we've got our own podium in the window! We've transformed some pretty plain wooden crates into glorious shining beacons of gold, silver and bronze. Amazing what a can of spray paint can do.

Take a look at our medal winning products - and the great little Olympians running around in the mix!

Going for Gold!

Look at that beautiful podium

Usain Bolt? With the Paul Smith new season holdall in the cycle components print.

The Opening Ceremony tonight promises to be a real spectacle and we're thankful the sun has lasted so well, even if Danny Boyle plans to create his own clouds to make it rain!

Tour de Force

A big congratulations to Bradley Wiggins for winning the Tour de France and becoming the first British winner.

We have so many great gifts for those of you love cycling too!

London Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic Torch relay has reached Bath and we're super excited about it passing right outside our front door! The sun is shining, the people are gathering and as we took up our spot, here's what we saw....

What an amazing experience, we're now looking forward to the opening event of the Olympics in July. But before that not to forget the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, it's sure going to be a British Summer. Lets just hope the sun stays out!
