Porter - Yoshida & Co. - Monochrome Messenger Bag (S) - Olive

A defining philosophy of Japanese luggage specialists Porter-Yoshida & Co. Ltd. is that “bags are tools”, with functionality and convenience always taking precedence over decoration. The MONOCHROME series distils this ethos into an innovative range of multipurpose bags designed for everyday adaptability.

This flap-cover messenger bag is the perfect size to fit a 13” laptop, featuring a large main compartment with an internal padded divider and an array of pockets to organise accessories and essentials. The main body is built from water-resistant three-layer nylon taffeta, with a waterproof tarpaulin base to keep tech and valuables safe and dry, while the back panel is constructed from “Cubic Eye®” piqué fabric. This highly breathable, quick-drying honeycomb material is designed to reduce heat and sweat buildup while adding cushioned comfort for the wearer — also utilised elsewhere as a shock absorber for the bag’s detachable shoulder strap.

Other useful features include a military-inspired MOLLE strap system for attaching key fobs and carabiners, a top-entry zipper for quick access to the main compartment without unfastening the flap cover, and elasticated bottle holders. The result is a versatile, weatherproof commuter bag, with every aspect of its design reflecting Porter-Yoshida’s attention to detail and premium quality.
