Denim Motes

These Porter Totes Give Men a Fashionable Way to Carry Stuff

Porter, the Japanese bag brand, has just released a set of premium denim totes for men. The Porter totes for men include both messenger bags and basic totes—or ‘motes’ as I like to call them (because not every man bag is just a ‘murse’). The messenger bags and motes are made of workwear-quality denim in a sleek dark wash.

With minimalist detailing, a classic square shape, and contrast white stitching, the Porter totes are all available through ARKKaban.
