Artists
Number5 makes things with artists. We hand illustrators the brief, step back, and let them create without the usual brand rules. Every design carries their name. Here are the people behind the kits, stickers and gear.
Ani Sánchez
A Venezuelan graphic designer and illustrator who found her creative home in Argentina. Ani's work is bright, bold and full of color, mixing the culture she grew up with and the everyday influences of life in Buenos Aires.

Brand collab: Floragami with Ardei Cycling
Floragami is a cross-brand kit made with Ardei Cycling. The print started as hand-carved linocut layers, with a large Number 5, a heron for Ardei, and block-print florals, before it was digitized for the jersey, bibs and vest.
