About Porter-Yoshida & Co.

Porter-Yoshida & Co. is doing their part to keep Japan’s reputation for meticulous craftsmanship alive and well. They put all their energy into making bags and accessories. That’s it. And they’ve been doing it since 1962 (parent brand Yoshida & Co. has actually been around since the 30s). Haven’t heard of them? Maybe because their bags aren’t widely sold internationally—although they’ve amassed a devout following in Japan—so we’re pretty damn fortunate to get our hands on some.
