TOGA, a luxury bag brand founded by designer Yasuko Furuta, has once again teamed up with Japanese carry label Porter to launch the duo's fourth bag series. The new collection features Porter's signature nylon construction while leveraging TOGA's Americana leather and metallic detailing. Pieces include backpacks, cross-body string bags, and compact shoulder bags.
The new backpacks come donning silver concho strips running across the front pocket, and stylized silver buckles and handles. Meanwhile, the stylish string bags boast a side zip design with a large cascading coin-shaped Deubrés and the shoulder bags come with detachable straps, inner mesh pouches, and a leather exterior.
For those interested, the entire collection is now available to purchase on TOGA's website and at physical TOGA locations.
