Antler adds to best-selling Discovery backpack with wider collection for ‘outdoor travel’

Antler has had a busy product launch programme in recent periods and it’s not easing up just yet with the company unveiling its new Discovery Collection, “marking a confident move into outdoor travel for the British travel brand”. 

What we’re talking about here is luggage that’s all about practicality.

The expanded collection brings together Antler’s “purpose-led design with functional features and durable materials for travellers whose needs go beyond the limits of traditional luggage”. 

The company said it’s “built for real-world exploration and more active travel, Discovery is rooted in the belief that adventure can happen anywhere – it isn’t tied to a destination, but the way you travel”.

It all stems from its original Discovery Backpack, which turned out to be a bestseller for the brand so it has extended it into pieces that offer “a more flexible, adventure-ready alternative to traditional hardside luggage”. 

That means a Wheeled Duffel and a 45L Backpack. Both pieces retain the original’s design codes and “functional spirit, while introducing new formats for travel versatility”.

The 68L Wheeled Duffel is Antler’s first hybrid holdall, pairing an “ultra-durable, scratch-resistant” hard shell back with a flexible, water-repellent soft front made with 100% recycled fabric. Designed to be “packed like a duffel but pulled like a suitcase, it can be strapped in, stacked up, and stowed in unpredictable spaces – with oversized rubber wheels built to handle tougher terrain”. 

The 45L Backpack is a “hands-free solution for cabin luggage, ideal for travellers who like to move lightly and freely”. It offers “suitcase-style access, compression straps, and a padded laptop sleeve”.
