Malbon, a lifestyle golfwear brand operated by Highlight Brands, has exclusively launched a collection in Korea created in collaboration with Scotch whisky brand Ballantine's, the company said Tuesday.
The collection reinterprets the "19th hole" — a golf culture of spending time with good company after a round — through Malbon's distinctive golf lifestyle sensibility. It carries the message of enjoying golf not merely as a sport but as a culture and lifestyle.
The "19th hole" concept is also woven into the design. The colors, graphics, and symbols representing the two brands have been harmoniously reinterpreted to express a lifestyle that spans both on and off the field. A symbol combining "M" and "B," the initials of Malbon and Ballantine's, and Malbon's bucket character wearing a cap with Ballantine's "B" logo simultaneously capture Malbon's signature wit and Ballantine's premium heritage. Centered on deep green, navy, and cream colors with gold accents, the collection completes a luxurious atmosphere.
The collection comprises 15 items in total, including clothing as well as hats, caddie bags, Boston bags, club covers, and ball pouches. In particular, the cowhide caddie bag was released in limited quantities, enhancing its collectible value. The "Malbon X Ballantine's" collection is available at Malbon's official online store and at department stores, directly operated stores, and dealerships nationwide.
