PORTER works in collaboration with iconic Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto on the latest capsule made up of chainlinked bag designs. The series also nods to zippered and strapped carrying pieces. This follows PORTERS ongoing partnerships to honor its 85th anniversary.
The color palette is neutral with black as the base foundation across the entire capsule. It features PORTER's signature models as the canvas as well as a small vanity pouch. All of the items are made with a triple layered nylon textile that boasts a matte finish. Additional details include leather handles for some textile contrast and a plethora of silver accents throughout. Some of these accents include D-rings to detachable dangling chains, two way zippers for function, pockets, and dividers.
