Founded in 2012, Miss Grape was born from founder Michele Boschetti’s personal quest for better, more dependable bikepacking solutions than those available at the time. Since then, the brand has established itself as one of the early pioneers in expedition‑ready bikepacking gear, trusted by adventurers around the world.
Since then, the Miss Grape range has continued to evolve and
now offers a comprehensive selection of saddle, top‑tube, frame, and handlebar‑mounted
luggage. Each product is packed with thoughtful innovation, including Miss
Grape’s proprietary integrated
waterproofing system, which combines the fully waterproof performance of a seam‑welded
inner bag with the durability and easy repairability of a heavy‑duty stitched
outer shell.
The lineup also includes the award‑winning Il COSO (“The Thing!”) – a
modular handlebar mounting system so impressive that it earned Bikepacking.com’s 2023 Product of the Year. All
Miss Grape bags are meticulously manufactured in‑house in Veneto, Italy, to the
highest standards and are backed by a lifetime warranty for the original owner.
Founder Michele Boschetti of Miss Grape said: “I am pleased to begin this
collaboration with Madison. Since our foundation, we have been interested in
the UK and Irish markets because of the strong bikepacking culture and
community present in these countries. We are delighted to have found the ideal partner
to bring the brand to market and to give this community the opportunity to
connect with our products and access our solutions to travel further – and better – by bike.”
Adrian Phillips, Brand Director at Madison adds: “By adding Miss Grape to our brand
portfolio, Madison brings retailers a premium bikepacking luggage range known
for reliability, innovation, and rider-tested performance – designed to drive sales in the
fast-growing adventure cycling category.”
The full range of products will also be on display for the
first time at iceBike* Manchester and London with exclusive stocking in deals
