Ouroboros cycling startup announces Kickstarter campaign

Vancouver, BC – Apparel brand startup, Ouroboros, has announced a 40-day Kickstarter campaign to fund their spring/summer 2014 collection. Combining technical cycling garments with elements of utilitarian streetwear, Ouroboros aims to produce a line of functional apparel equally suited to contemporary commuting, leisure and sport. The Vancouver-based company produces all of its products in the Pacific Northwest, including North American spun fibres.

Ouroboros has set a target of $10,000 Canadian dollars to fund the collection, including a two-week pop-up shop in Vancouver’s downtown eastside. Contributors to the campaign will receive incentives according to the level of their contribution: from sticker packs with a $10 contribution, to a full technical cycling kit with a $250 contribution and more. Delivery is included within Canada.

The URL of the Kickstarter campaign is http://bit.ly/shopouroboros. Ouroboros has until 12:00PM on January 1st, 2014 to reach its goal, or no funding will be received.
