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 line of products 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,” declares 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.
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 supporting the evolution of the market.
The choice of Miss Grape as a partner is a union characterized by shared values : that of Made in Italy, attention to the quality and durability of the products and the love for design, inspired first of all by experience of the modern cyclist.
The new Selle San Marco are intelligently designed to adapt to the geometry of the bicycle, taking advantage of every minimum 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 tourism, up to the most demanding adventures.
“Beyond my predilection for the brand – I have always used Selle San Marco -, for a bag manufacturer the saddle is a key element, 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 carried out resistance tests, rethought possible ways of attaching the bags and extensively evaluated common strategies dedicated to this segment. They could have developed a simpler and cheaper 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 their value and their philosophy for Selle San Marco; a great satisfaction for us”, continues Michele Boschetti.
The new collection is now available exclusively on the website www.sellesanmarco.com
