The capsule spotlights the standard [nylon construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-x-porter) that is true to Porter's design language and the Americana themes of metallic and leather that is true to TOGA. The silhouettes that make up the collection include a packable shoulder bag, a backpack, and a cross-body string bag to round it all out. The string bags have a side zip on the side to hold personal belongings and a drawstring opening with a large coun-shaped Deubres. The backpacks have silver concho stripes along with the front pockets and silver buckles and handles.
