Antler Takes Travel Outdoors with the Discovery Collection

Antler has always been a name tied to British travel. The kind of brand you expect to see wheeled through airports, slotted neatly into luggage racks, and lined up at hotel receptions. With the launch of its Discovery Collection, however, the brand shifts gear—taking its design codes and applying them to a more rugged, outdoor-ready territory.

The starting point was the Discovery Backpack, a best-seller that found favour with commuters, weekenders, and anyone looking for a versatile pack that could handle more than the standard city run. The new collection builds on that success, introducing silhouettes designed for the kind of travel that doesn’t always follow a polished itinerary.

At the centre is the 68L Discovery Wheeled Duffel, Antler’s first hybrid holdall. It takes a hard shell back—scratch-resistant and tough—and combines it with a soft, water-repellent front made from 100% recycled fabric. In short, it’s built to be dragged, stacked, and stowed wherever you happen to end up. Oversized rubber wheels make light work of uneven ground, while its duffel-style opening keeps packing straightforward.

For those who prefer to keep things hands-free, the 45L Discovery Backpack offers the space of a cabin case with the ease of a rucksack. A suitcase-style opening, compression straps, and a padded laptop sleeve ensure it balances structure with flexibility. It’s the sort of bag that works as well for navigating cobbled streets in Europe as it does for cross-country rail trips.

Colour remains central to the line. Alongside the brand’s signature Carbon Black and Antler Green, bold tones like Mustard Yellow and Meadow Purple nod to the British landscape, making the pieces feel at home whether you’re in city centres or further afield.

Smaller additions complete the picture. The original 28L Discovery Backpack returns with its proven balance of utility and everyday wearability, while the Discovery Crossbody Bag rounds off the collection—compact, adaptable, and designed to be worn however the day demands.
