EDITORS PICK
Cult Japanese brand Porter take the business of making bags seriously – which is why they produce seriously good carry. The Porter Protect Shoulder Bag is a case in point. Everything about the messenger is considered, from the quick-access pocket that doesn’t eat into the internal space, to clever patternmaking that ensures the flap folds in such a way to securely close the bag and avoid Gorby Gaps. Its versatile design will also stand you in good stead for a variety of settings. Use it in the office, during your travels or while checking out that new neighborhood café.
