"When Japanese craftsmanship meets British conceptual design, the result is something far beyond fashion - it's functional art. That's exactly what happens in the new collaboration between PORTER and Toogood, the London-based design studio known for its architectural approach to everyday objects. Together, they've crafted a collection that reimagines classic silhouettes through a lens of structure, tactility, and timeless form."
"The Pedlar Backpack is perhaps the most striking of the trio. Rendered in PORTER's iconic nylon twill, it reflects Toogood's signature plump, three-dimensional structure - a design language often found in their furniture and apparel. The silhouette is purposeful yet playful, achieving a sense of balance between form and function. Available in black and khaki, the backpack exudes quiet sophistication while embracing a tactile, padded construction that feels both contemporary and nostalgic."
PORTER and Toogood combined Japanese craftsmanship and British conceptual design to create a limited-edition collection of functional art. The series includes three pieces: the Pedlar Backpack, the Editor Tote, and the Paperboy Bag, each reimagining classic silhouettes through structure, tactility, and timeless form. The Pedlar Backpack uses PORTER's nylon twill with a plump, three-dimensional, padded construction, available in black and khaki, balancing form and function for urban commuting. The Editor Tote features generous proportions and soft, voluminous lines in black, khaki, and orange, adapting from work to weekend. The collaboration balances technical precision with sculptural volume and human-centered craftsmanship.
