Ison Distribution Ltd. and Miss Grape Snc. are pleased to announce the exclusive distribution partnership for the UK and Ireland of the Miss Grape Bikepacking line.

Miss Grape Snc, was founded from an idea back in 2014 but had in reality started much earlier than that with Michele Boschetti making bags in his home for his own use on bikepacking adventures across Italy.

Miss Grape have concentrated in sorting the most appropriate materials for their bags and for this reason Miss Grape do not use VX21 as the main fabric for their bags but rather a derivative of a ballistic polymide fabric with incredible tear resistance which, from their own testing is also more abraision resisitant and ultimately more durable. Miss Grape is manufactured by hand in Italy to maintain quality and consistency.

Ison Distribution Ltd. are very excited about the line which fits extremely well with many brands in their portfolio.   Patrick Joscelyne, brand manager for Miss Grape, says although bikepacking is not a new idea, developments in materials and new construction ideas have led to riders looking to travel further and faster with less weight and kit than traditional touring.

If you have less storage space you have to carry less kit. The idea is to be able to take your favourite bike and go anywhere extending a day trip by 1, 2 or multiple extra days/weeks without the need for traditional panniers, ‘slipping’ through the landscape enjoying the views and trail ahead of you. It’s a very cathartic experience leaving stuff out that you would normally pack and although it takes time to get your kit list dialled, once you have the basics, you can head off anywhere and enjoy the feeling of liberation from the daily grind.

Miss Grape joins Ison’s increasingly broad range of products and will be available from selected stockists.
