Porter Yoshida bags and Japanese craftsmanship
Since the beginning, Yoshida & Co. has maintained that all Porter Yoshida bags must be Made in Japan. Instead of moving production overseas, each bag continues to be sewn by specialized bag makers locally in Japan. Their approach to craftsmanship is about putting time and precision into every single stitch. The result is solid bags created to be used every day and last for many years.
Durable nylon and functional design
The design at Porter Yoshida often takes its starting point in military functionality. This is evident in the well-known Tanker line, which draws inspiration from classic MA-1 flight jackets. At Kyoto, we focus particularly on the FORCE and FLEX series, which build on the same expression. A FORCE 2WAY Helmet Bag, for example, has a characteristic orange lining that contrasts with the bag's otherwise subdued exterior. The vast majority of models are made of heavy-duty nylon, which provides a very durable surface. The material also makes several of the shoulder bags slightly water-repellent, so they can withstand rain when you are on the go.
Practical bags for everyday life
A bag from Porter Yoshida is, first and foremost, a practical tool. The design language is raw and functional, and our selection contains silhouettes for different needs. Whether you are looking for a classic tote bag for everyday use, a compact shoulder bag for your most important small items, or a 3Way Briefcase that can also be worn as a backpack, the idea is the same. The bags are designed to function in practice and integrate naturally into your daily life.
