Modern Bags in Matte Black, Inspired by Traditional Japanese Garments

The new collaboration bags are the "MINOTAUR INST. x PORTER 2WK BAG," inspired by the Kasaya, and the "MINOTAUR INST. x PORTER 2W KINCHAKU," inspired by the Kinchaku.
The modern Kasaya-inspired bag is crafted from matte black, shrink-processed lightweight nylon. All components, including the straps, are in a uniform matte black, creating a subdued, textured finish.
The original logo-embossed shoulder strap includes a cushioned shoulder pad for comfort, even when carrying heavy loads.
The strap can also be adjusted for wear inside outerwear, allowing it to function as a body bag that protects mobile electronics from wind and rain. The three-dimensional zip pocket shares the same concept and material as the Kasaya-inspired 2W-KINCHAKU bag.
