PORTER Teams Up with Cecilie Bahnsen for Dreamy Collection
The iconic Japanese brand PORTER has joined forces with Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen to create a stunning 3-piece collection. This collaboration, set to be released on June 5, is part of Yoshida & Co.’s 90th anniversary celebration.
Romantic Meets Functional: PORTER x Cecilie Bahnsen
For the second installment of Yoshida & Co.’s 90th anniversary celebration, PORTER has enlisted the help of Cecilie Bahnsen to add a touch of romance to their functional designs. Known for her collaborations with brands like Asics and The North Face, Bahnsen now brings her signature adornments to PORTER’s utilitarian bags.
Backpack, Tool Bag, and Bonsac Mini: The Must-Have Pieces
The collection features three must-have pieces, each with its own unique design. The backpack, available in all-black nylon twill, is adorned with black-on-black embroidery and laser-cut flowers. The 2 Way Tool Bag, offered in classic olive green, baby blue, and black, combines the elegance of a handbag with the functionality of a tool carrier. And for those who prefer a smaller bag, the Bonsac Mini is available in the same colorways with a scaled-down design.
A Romantic Act: Bahnsen’s Inspiration
In a statement, Bahnsen describes the collaboration as a “romantic act,” explaining that it’s about sorting through memories and deciding what to keep and what to reconstruct. Her monochrome approach allows PORTER’s durable nylon fabrics to take center stage, while still incorporating her romantic sensibilities.
Quiet Charm and Contemporary Identity
Bahnsen’s collection for PORTER represents a contemporary facet of the brand’s visual identity as it approaches its 100th year in business. With a focus on quiet charm rather than flashy displays, this collaboration is a perfect blend of both brands’ aesthetics.
Get Your Hands on the Collection
The Cecilie Bahnsen x PORTER collection will be available on June 5 at PORTER’s flagship store, PORTER SHINJUKU, and Yoshida & Co.’s web store. Don’t miss your chance to add these dreamy pieces to your collection.
