Born in the Heart of the Midlands

Spada’s story began over 30 years ago in the Midlands. The founder, Tony, had already spent two decades working in the motorcycle industry when he recognised a gap in the market. Riders were struggling to find affordable, stylish and weather‑resistant gear that could stand up to the British climate. Tony decided to take action, creating a brand that focused on making functional motorcycle clothing accessible to all.

A Blend of Experience and Heritage

With his Italian roots and years of industry experience, Tony brought a unique blend of style and technical knowledge to the table. Having worked with some of the top motorcycle clothing brands, he knew exactly what riders needed. His aim was simple design gear that was practical, protective and didn’t cost a fortune.

Early Products That Made a Difference

The first Spada products were lined and unlined waterproofs. They quickly gained popularity thanks to their affordability and performance. These early offerings proved that quality riding gear didn’t need to be out of reach for everyday motorcyclists.

A Family Business with a Clear Vision

Today, Spada is led by Tony’s daughter, Anna, who continues to build on the legacy her father started. Under her leadership, the brand has expanded its range to include jackets, trousers, gloves, boots and accessories. Every product still reflects the same values reliability, practicality and real‑world performance.

Spada is trusted by thousands of motorcyclists across the UK and beyond. Whether you're riding through a downpour or commuting through the city, Spada gear is made to perform in real conditions. The brand has remained true to its mission: to support the spirit of every rider with honest gear that works.
