Lexdray x Major League Baseball Players Association
-- Official Press Release --
Lifestyle brand Lexdray is proud to announce that it has become the Official Luggage Provider of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), effective for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
The partnership will officially launch at the upcoming MLB All-Star Game on July 14, in Cincinnati, OH, where All Stars and key personnel will receive custom Lexdray Beijing Duffel bags—an essential piece for a Major Leaguer’s jet-setting lifestyle.
The sleek and ultra-durable Beijing Duffel is a perfectly sized carry-on designed for the frequent traveler, featuring dual compartments for easy organization, various exterior pockets to quickly reach daily essentials, and a versatile padded shoulder strap system. The exterior is made of weather-resistant fabrics and premium grade hardware and includes the Major League Baseball Players Association logo patch.
Lexdray will provide additional custom product for the MLBPA throughout the season, by outfitting players with bags and accessories that will last a lifetime.
"As a sport steeped in tradition and nostalgia, baseball aligns perfectly with Lexdray’s timeless and functional collections, which are inspired by old school quality and designed to complement any lifestyle," says Alex Drayer, Founder and Creative Director of Lexdray. “We’re honored to collaborate with the MLBPA to celebrate America’s national pastime and help players travel in style.”
“The Major League Baseball Players Association is proud to partner with Lexdray. Their fashion-forward, yet functional bags are a great match for Major Leaguers and anyone with busy travel schedule or on-the-go lifestyle,” said Evan Kaplan, MLBPA director of licensing and business development.

Lexdray Retailers Customize our Reversible Totes
We recently launched two versions of our reversible tote bag. In conjunction with the launch, we offered our retail partners the ability to create an understated screen print in black ink on the black ballistic nylon side of the Capetown and Playboy totes. This unique customization process has been extremely well received by retailers and customers alike. Below are a few images of our retail partners screen-printed bags (ACD Gallery (San Diego), Canvas (Malibu), Capsule (Toronto), DEMK (Hong Kong), Marissa Collections (Naples), theWit Hotel (Chicago)).
