Distinctive for the signature "black" of both brands and the zippers on the front.

The second collaboration item between "Yohji Yamamoto," the brand by world-renowned fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, and "PORTER" has been released. Three models are available: a backpack, a shoulder bag, and a waist bag, all featuring a new wrinkled texture.

Functional designs ideal for the remote work era also catch the eye.

This collaboration item intentionally incorporates "wrinkles" as a design element. The main material is Yoshida & Co.'s original high-density nylon twill fabric, treated with a traditional Japanese technique to achieve its wrinkled appearance. These are special bags that embody the brand's aesthetic, known for its "aesthetics of wrinkles," in true Yohji Yamamoto style.

The color is "black," symbolizing both brands, as in the first collection. Features include zippers diagonally placed on the front and a voluminous, three-dimensional form. The leather accents at the bottom alternate between nubuck and smooth finishes, while the crisscrossing reflector cords at the base are also striking. The mesh material on the back is embroidered with a large "Yohji Yamamoto" signature logo in black. All items are limited editions with serial numbers.

In line with the modern era where remote work is the norm, both the backpack and messenger bag feature a large main compartment along with a separate pocket with cushioning material for storing a PC. The design is functional, allowing for performance anytime, anywhere.

The backpack features original parts from FIDLOCK®, a German company, for easy one-action attachment and detachment of the chest strap using magnets. The two handles at the top are conveniently designed to support the bag when bringing it to the front from a worn position, allowing for easy access to belongings from either side.

The messenger bag features a flap with a quick-release buckle, similar to those used by the German military, allowing for easy one-action detachment. This buckle also serves as a stopper to prevent the contents from spilling out. It includes a padded shoulder strap made from the same fabric as the bag body.

The waist bag has a two-layer structure: a large main compartment and a mesh partition pocket for organizing small items. It incorporates core material where it contacts the waist or shoulder, maintaining the bag's shape and ensuring a snug fit. The top handle can also be used as a support when wearing the bag across the body and bringing it to the front to access items, making it functional.

These items are available in limited quantities at PORTER flagship store, PORTER EXCHANGE, PORTER STAND, PORTER KOREA APGUJEONG, the Yoshida & Co. official online store, and nationwide at Yohji Yamamoto HOMME stores (excluding the Sogo Yokohama store) and the official Yohji Yamamoto e-commerce site "The Shop Yohji Yamamoto."
