# Eye-Catching Nylon Twill Bags The Paul Smith + Porter Collection Delivers a Range of Striped Bags By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-02-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-smith-porter References: [acquiremag](https://www.acquiremag.com/style/paul-smith-porter) & [paulsmith](https://www.paulsmith.com/us/stories/ss22/porter?utm_source=linkshare&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_content=TnL5HPStwNw&utm_campaign=10&ranMID=39528&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-zHWCrjbV2makmSNzH3psog) British luxury fashion label Paul Smith has partnered with Japanese luggage and accessories brand PORTER to launch a limited-edition bag range titled 'Paul Smith + Porter.' The new range takes cues from the designs and colors seen in Paul Smith's Spring/Summer 2022 collection while representing "a celebration of the great outdoors." As a result, the new series of bags combine PORTER's signature utility-inspired silhouettes with Paul Smith's refreshing design codes. The collection features PORTER's classic silhouettes including the Helmet shoulder bag, duffle bag and wallet, dressed in a combination of colors and striped patterns. As a whole, the bags possess a distinctly high-fashion aesthetic, while still remaining highly-functional thanks to their lightweight nylon twill construction -- a notably durable material often used by PORTER.
