I’m excited to announce my latest personal project Kin by Ronnie and Batshi Fieg, a new line of bracelets that will be sold exclusively at Kith. The small line builds on the close knit relationship between the Kith team and our customers as I reached out to a very important Kith member for this project, my mother Batshi Fieg. My mother continues to play a huge part in the way I see things. Batshi Fieg has been into fashion since I can remember and her expensive yet unique taste exposed me to amazing trends through the years. My mother has been working in jewelry for over 25 years and I feel extremely blessed and lucky to have her by my side. Kin is the second part of the phrase “Kith and Kin” which means friends and family. Kith represents me and my friends and Kin will represent me and my mother. There are a lot products in the works, I hope you will appreciate them as much as I do.

X-9 Nighthawk is an experimental frame made out of sandwich panels and covered with carbon fiber skins. The frame structure was created from honeycomb sandwich panels which were water-jet cut and connected with laminated over carbon fiber. The lightweight bike is perfect for convenience and the all black design doesn’t look too bad either.
