OVO and Porter are the latest forces to work alongside one another for the Spring/Summer 2022 season. The duo dive into the archival designs by Porter, tapping into its expertise and cultural perspective. As a result, the collection is made up of premium carrying designs that perfectly fuse the lifestyle brand's aesthetic and the Japanese brand's technicalities.
There are six items in total -- all of which are made in Japan. Every bag is detailed with the iconic OVO Camo patterning as well as the OVO monogram pattern. This includes the silhouettes of the 2Way Helmet Bag, the 2WAY Boston bag, the Daypack, Pouch Case, the Document Case, and finally, the Waist Bag. All of these are made with heavy-duty water-repelling nylon twill.
