For the modern adventurer, the call of the wild is often matched only by a deep appreciation for meticulously crafted everyday carry. If your wanderlust is inextricably linked with a love for stellar design, you are going to want to sit up and take notice of the Wingback World Explorer Collection.
Serving as a stunning continuation of the brilliant first collaboration between the EDC maestros at Wingback and the creative minds at Lást, this latest lineup is heavily inspired by the undeniable romanticism of classic cartography and vintage ‘polar explorer’ maps. Check out the best bits below:
100ml Hip Flask (£225)
Perfectly sized for your next adventure at a carry-on friendly 100ml, this Lást Maps special edition entirely rethinks the traditional hip flask. Ditching the standard flat silhouette for a sleek, machined cylindrical design, it delivers a wide mouth for spill-free filling and a remarkably smooth pour.
Packed with clever everyday carry utility, the flask features a knurled cap that doubles as a handy half-measure, alongside a discreet bottle opener integrated directly into the base. Meticulously machined in England from solid 316 stainless steel—with an ultra-durable, ceramic-coated British Racing Green option available—this rugged travel companion is built for a lifetime of uncompromised toasting.
Fountain Pen (£195)
For the modern EDC aficionado, a reliable writing instrument is an absolute must. Enter this striking special edition of Wingback’s highly versatile, machined pocket fountain pen, brilliantly reimagined by the creative minds at Lást Maps.
Boasting a deeply tactile knurled grip explicitly designed to let your creativity flow without interruption, this pocket-sized powerhouse is a genuine joy to deploy. Equipped with a buttery-smooth, iridium-tipped nib and cleverly engineered to accept highly convenient international standard refills, it is the ultimate travel companion for documenting your next great adventure or jotting down your daily musings.
Mechanical Pencil (£245)
Elevate your everyday carry setup with this striking special edition of Wingback’s Red Dot award-winning Mechanical Pencil, brilliantly detailed by the creative minds at Lást Maps. At its core lies a custom-engineered, all-metal mechanism capable of holding a staggering ten times more lead than standard alternatives.
Purpose-built for marathon sketching sessions, it boasts an ergonomic wide diameter and a deeply tactile knurled grip, effortlessly reducing hand fatigue while you bring your next big idea to life on the page.
Winston Wallet (£125)
Streamline your everyday carry with this Lást Maps special edition of Wingback’s best-selling slim wallet. Handcrafted in London from premium 1.4mm Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather, it effortlessly stashes eight or more cards and folded cash without any of the unwanted bulk.
The clever bi-fold architecture opens completely flat for seamless contactless payments and can even securely house a passport when you hit the road. Meticulously hand-stitched and burnished, this minimalist pocket essential will naturally soften and develop a stunning, entirely unique patina over time. Complete with custom engraving options, it is the ultimate low-profile travel companion.
