On the 19th of July, 2015 the Malle team set out on a 37 day Expedition, journeying 10,000 miles across the North American continent â with a âtool kitâ of Malle creations designed to enable adventure.
We tested these designs to the nth degree – through typhoons in Canada and Michigan, to the snowy mountains of Colorado and on to the deserts of Nevada and California, where temperatures would reach 42C. We lived in and out of our Malleâs, testing each piece thoroughly and in extreme conditions. Some we destroyed and some made it home again.
We carefully documented how each design performed over time and upon our return to our studio in London we redesigned each piece to perform exactly as it should, enabling our customers to go further and explore more.
We are very proud to introduce the Malle âExpedition Collectionâ.
Vincent/eX Duffel
We reinvented the iconic duffel, employing three innovative design features. The duffel rolls closed at both ends, so you can access the interior from either end. Our duffel can expand and contract in length, depending on what you need to carry, just keep on rolling. The bag is also fully waterproof, with an exterior roll-top pocket. Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
Edward/eX Backpack
Introducing our most sleek, waterproof and lightweight backpack yet.
One of the key things we learnt whilst on a long distance expedition, is that people love giving you things -T-Shirts, posters, ornaments and home-made moonshine – meaning you arrive with
a lot more than you left with. The roll-top access not only creates a fully waterproof seal, but it allows for the bag to expand and contract, depending on what youâre carrying.
Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
Bruno/eX Weekender
As standard with our Weekenders, they have the functionality to mount to all sorts of transport modes, from Motorcycles and Bicycles, to car luggage racks. The lightweight bag features a roll top opening that enables it to expand and contract in size and maintain absolute protection from the elements. Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
Charlie/eX Backpack
Often a big backpack is not the answer – especially when hiking or if youâre riding for long distances. So we created a slim backpack, designed to carry your daily essentials. With 4 pockets in the interior. It features a roll top opening, which uses the shoulder straps as the closing mechanism, keeping your bag waterproof and secure when itâs being worn.
Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with navy blue organic cotton.
The Morgan & Douglas Tool Roll
âWhen everything goes wrong â thatâs when adventure startsâ – Yvon Chouinard
We all need to be prepared and whether youâre traveling by foot, 4×4, boat or motorcycle, a few good tools will always get you (or others you meet on the way) out of trouble. The larger Morgan features
20 pockets and a large slip pouch – and the smaller Douglas features 6 pockets and a slip pouch. The parallel straps enable attachment in a multitude of positions on car or bike. Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
Tom/eX Tool Pouches
When youâre traveling for a long time with one or 2 bags, the contents have a tendency to get mixed up – food, digital accessories, pencils and clothing become one. So we created small roll top pouches in three sizes, to create simple organisation within your larger weekender or backpack. Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
Jack/eX Shoulder Bag
The lightweight âJackâ features a roll top opening that enables it to expand and contract in size and maintain absolute protection from the elements. Our shoulder bags are designed to carry daily essentials (laptops, clothing etc.) but they also have the functionality to mount to all sorts of transport modes, from motorcycles and bicycles, to car luggage racks. Made from our signature navy blue oiled canvas, bridle leather, solid brass hardware and lined with organic cotton.
