JAXURY AWARD 2026

“Respect” Award

PORTER

1. The original bonding nylon twill used in "TANKER" was renewed in 2024, reborn with 100% plant-derived nylon. 2. To mark the 80th anniversary (2015), inspired by the Jomon pouch — considered one of Japan's oldest bags, woven in the azami style during the Jomon period — a pouch crafted from vegetable-tanned leather in azami weave was released. 3. The "SENSES" series stimulates the five senses and uplifts the user's mindset. The multi-functional material "α GEL" is built into shoulder straps and pads, dispersing pressure on the shoulders and hands to reduce fatigue and stress. A sachet sways with each movement, releasing a calming fragrance — a PORTER original scent developed by Kyoto's "Shoyeido" fragrance house, based on sandalwood. The drawstring bag-inspired TOOLBAG is a beloved item for all genders. PORTER / SENSES TOOLBAG ¥53,900 / PORTER (Yoshida / 03-3862-1021)

The reliable craftsmanship of Japanese artisans is highly regarded both domestically and internationally, drawing a constant stream of collaboration requests from Comme des Garçons, luxury overseas brands, and FENDI. The iconic PORTER series TANKER has renewed its materials to mark its 40th anniversary. Always embracing new challenges while building trust, PORTER continues to create the value of authentic "made in Japan."
