Infamous accessory label [PORTER](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-porter) worked with a major streetwear label once again in creating the collaborative PORTER x [BAPE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-boot) Reflection CAMO Waist Bags. The two labels came together to craft the bag in two different colorways; there are the options of BAPE's iconic [Reflection CAMO in yellow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1) for a brighter statement, or a muted option of Reflection CAMO black.

The camouflage patterned waist bags by PORTER and BAPE are sturdy and functional, with two small pockets across the front, and a large compartment to hold personal belongings. Branding details from both labels are found on the corner, with both logos on tags. The new collaborative accessory is set to drop at BAPE retail locations and online on March 24th.
