Miss Grape x Selle San Marco
Behind the scenes of the collaboration between
Miss Grape and Selle San Marco.
"A project based on the same values."
“Creating a product line for a brand like Selle San Marco was an exciting technical challenge, but also a personal satisfaction: I'm sure that the bikepacking and gravel movement will continue to grow, also thanks to these synergies ,” says Michele Boschetti, founder of the Italian brand Miss Grape.
In January 2023 Selle San Marco presented its first line of bikepacking bags , developed in collaboration with Miss Grape.
This collaboration demonstrates Selle San Marco's ability to meet the needs of cyclists, especially those in the bikepacking and gravel markets, and to innovate, anticipating and adapting to market evolution.
The choice of Miss Grape as a partner is a union based on shared values : that of Made in Italy, attention to the quality and durability of products and a love of design, inspired first and foremost by the experience of the modern cyclist.
The new Selle San Marco are intelligently designed to adapt to the geometry of the bicycle, making the most of every little space and making the riding experience pleasant and safe.
Made in Italy with 100% waterproof and tear-resistant materials, the new collection includes 9 bag models to meet the different needs of bikepacking, from ultra races to light touring, to the most challenging adventures.
"Beyond my fondness for the brand—I've always used Selle San Marco—for a bag manufacturer, the saddle is a key element; it's the component to which the main bikepacking bag attaches. We've been working with Selle San Marco for a long time: we've conducted durability tests, rethought possible bag attachment methods, and thoroughly evaluated joint strategies for this segment.
They could have developed a simpler and more affordable product, turning to brands that produce in China. I believe that choosing Made in Italy and the quality of Miss Grape is a confirmation of Selle San Marco's value and philosophy; it's a great satisfaction for us," continues Michele Boschetti.
The new collection is now available exclusively on the website www.sellesanmarco.com
