Under the salty wind and the hum of engines, between sand and motor noise, some faces leave a stronger impression than others. The Normandy Beach Race 2025 gave me one of those moments: meeting Charlotte, founder of the French brand Wildust Sisters, gentle and determined, passionate and radically sincere.
A warm character, a radiant charisma.
From our very first meeting, Charlotte stands out: simple posture, proud yet gentle gaze, immediate smile. She doesn't have that distance one sometimes imagines behind a rising brand; on the contrary, she welcomes, listens, shares. She talks about her beginnings as one would recount a long-nurtured dream — small challenges, convictions, ideas of style and freedom, always tinged with authenticity.
Charlotte is making herself known "through motorcycles and for passionate women." She doesn't seek to impose, but to offer: elegance, comfort, safety, without compromise. Her charisma doesn't come from blunt assertion, but from the simplicity of her convictions and her respect for every person she meets.
Wildust Sisters: when fashion, motorcycles, and femininity come together.
Through the pieces from Wildust Sisters, I perceived a whole vision: that of a woman, Charlotte, who rejects stereotypes, who does not want motorcycles to be solely “masculine” or biker clothing for women to be reduced to gaudy pinks or bland feminine variations. Here is what I took away, combining what I saw, what I read on the official website, and what I was able to touch or try on:
- Hailing from Bordeaux, this independent French brand celebrates contemporary female bikers, who are both adventurous, determined, and proud of their freedom.
- The identity of Wildust Sisters is embodied in a retro aesthetic full of character, combined with a desire for freedom and a confident feminine approach. The creations stand out with CE-certified jackets, cuts adapted for female riders, and textiles designed to withstand abrasion.
- Safety & Standards: Motorcycle jackets are CE AA certified, with elbow and shoulder protectors (and optional back protector), tested seams, and durable textiles — Wildust claims that the gear offers uncompromising safety.
- The brand offers a wide range of products: jackets, pants, gloves, scarves, and everyday accessories, not to mention technical pieces. This includes the Cargo Overland, a reinforced cotton pant with removable CE protectors on the knees and hips, certified as PPE class AA in accordance with standard EN 17092-3:2020.
Her commitments are based on production in France or Europe whenever possible, expertise driven by small teams, awareness of sustainable issues, and a timeless style, far from disposable collections.
The moment shared at the Normandy Beach Race
That day, I saw Charlotte surrounded by her creations: leather or reinforced cotton jackets, subtle embroidery, well-thought-out accessories, perfectly cut gloves — all set against a backdrop of engines and sand, dunes, a blend of fury and elegance.
Seeing her live the brand on the ground, among the female riders, interacting, being "tested" — it gives meaning. She doesn’t just sell clothing; she enables women to assert themselves as motorcyclists, to ride with style, safety, and purpose.
Why this meeting matters
Because in a world where many just do “visuals,” Charlotte (and Wildust Sisters) make sense. They give voice, image, and megaphone to those who love riding, who love motorcycles, without giving up being themselves. This brand reminds us that motorcycle gear is not exclusive, that aesthetics matter, but protection must come first — that you can ask for it all at once.
And above all, this meeting reinforced my belief that it is not big budgets or large organizations that shift the lines, but people who believe, who dare, who build — with respect, with courage, with beauty.
My weekend at the Normandy Beach Race 2025 will not only be a memory of roaring engines, dust, and sunset — it is also the one where I met a woman who creates a brand that embodies freedom, style, and direction.
Thank you Charlotte, thank you Wildust Sisters, for what you bring: not just jackets, pants, scarves, but an idea, a voice—that motorcycling is also a world with many heroines.
