Mack Weldon Launches Accessories

Mack Weldon's move into accessories is driven by feedback from consumers, who asked for bags designed with the brand's signature smart approach. That demand was compounded by the design team's frustration with existing accessory brands: men's bags are either designed for the outdoors or staid corporate offices with little in between. The goal with the ION Series, as with all Mack Weldon product, is to elevate and innovate with an eye toward solving important functional gaps.

The initial assortment of ION product includes: Wallet ($68), Weekender Bag ($148), Travel Kit ($48), and Swipe Glove ($28). The AirFlex Hat ($38) and Convertible Backpack ($148) will launch in early 2018.

Notable features include antimicrobial, silver-lined interior compartments for both the ION Weekender and ION Travel Kit to ensure the bags' contents remain clean and odor-free; and a waterproof zip closure, RFID-blocking interior for the ION Wallet. Through a partnership with CHRGR, a leading provider of branded mobile power, the ION Weekender, Backpack, and Wallet are equipped with an integrated, high-performance mobile charger for iPhone and Android.

"When it comes to essentials, we always take an inventive point of view," said Matthew Congdon, Vice President of Design at Mack Weldon. "Accessories, especially bags, have become an important part of our customers' daily needs.  We noticed the current market lacks bags that balance form and function. The ION series delivers elevated design with great functionality that meets the demands of today's dynamic lifestyle - from office, to the gym and beyond."

While continuing to drive impressive growth in its core product categories of underwear, t-shirts, and socks, Mack Weldon is known to expand its offering with successful product introductions. This is in large part due to the discipline that Founder Brian Berger and his team hold when contemplating new additions. Since its launch in 2012, Mack Weldon has applied its unique product formula to related categories including: sweats in 2015, polos in 2016, and swim/activewear in 2017.

"Our mission to reinvent men's basics goes well beyond the underwear drawer," said Brian Berger, Founder and CEO of Mack Weldon. "The ION Series is simply the latest addition to our promise of improving the most important, and often overlooked, items that power our lives."

Mack Weldon's accessories series will sell exclusively at www.mackweldon.com.
