Some brands are built on trends. Porter-Yoshida & Co. was built on perseverance. Founded in Tokyo in 1935 by Kichizo Yoshida, the Japanese specialist brand grew from a simple belief that a bag should first and foremost be a useful tool. Nearly a century later, that philosophy still guides every design.
Behind the brand lies one of the most respected manufacturing traditions in Japan. Every Porter bag is made locally by skilled artisans, carrying forward Yoshida's famous principle of "heart and soul into every stitch." The result is a level of quality and attention to detail that has earned the label a cult following far beyond its home country.
The iconic Tanker series remains at the centre of the Porter story. Introduced in 1983 and inspired by the MA-1 flight jacket, its signature nylon construction, bright orange lining and uncompromising functionality have become instantly recognisable.
