FINGERSCROSSED was founded in 2016 by Susanne and Patrick Lay, who brought together a shared passion for cycling and a background in design to create something distinct. Based in Germany, the brand set out to reimagine cycling apparel and accessories through the lens of modern aesthetics, technical precision, and material innovation.
Susanne, a communication and product designer, leads creative direction and brings a deep understanding of materials and form. Patrick, drawing from his fashion experience at Ralph Lauren and J. Lindeberg, focuses on refining core performance essentials—most notably, cycling socks and accessories that marry utility with elevated design.
FINGERSCROSSED quickly gained recognition for its commitment to detail and minimalist style. The brand’s products—from performance socks to gloves, bidons, and beyond—combine clean lines, bold color choices, and advanced fabrics. Every piece is made to perform under pressure while reflecting a considered, contemporary aesthetic.
At its core, FINGERSCROSSED is about elevating the ride—technically, visually, and experientially. It’s a brand for cyclists who care as much about form as function, and who see performance and style not as opposites, but as part of the same pursuit.
