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 am 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 unveiled its first line of bikepacking bags, developedin collaboration with Miss Grape.
A collaboration that demonstrates both Selle San Marco's ability to respond to the needs of cyclists, especially in the bikepacking and gravel market, and to innovate, anticipating and pandering to the evolution of the market.
The choice of Miss Grape as a partner is a combination under the banner of shared values: that of Made in Italy, attention to 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 panniers are intelligently designed to fit the geometry of the bicycle, taking advantage of every bit of space and making the riding experience pleasant and safe.
Made in Italy from 100% waterproof and tear-resistant materials, the new collection includes 9 bag models to meet the diverse needs of bikepacking, from ultra racing to light touring to the most challenging adventures.
"Beyond my fondness for the brand-I have always used Selle San Marco-the saddle is a key element for a bag manufacturer; it is the component to which the main bikepacking bag is attached. We have been collaborating with Selle San Marco for a long time: we have been doing endurance tests, rethinking possible ways of attaching bags, and evaluating for a long time common strategies dedicated to this segment.
They could have developed a simpler and cheaper product, turned to brands that produce in China: I think that having chosen the Made in Italy and Miss Grape quality is for Selle San Marco a confirmation of their value and philosophy; for us a great satisfaction." continues Michele Boschetti.
