Yoshida Kaban celebrates its 85th anniversary.
A number of commemorative items were released.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yoshida Kaban, which has been loved by men and women of all ages with its spirit of "one stitch, one soul" since its establishment, is the leader in the Japanese bag industry. Yoshida Kaban was founded on March 10, 85 years ago, when you, the readers of this article, were probably not yet born. To commemorate the anniversary, a number of collaborative items have appeared. Most recently, the leading jeans brand "Levi's®︎" and "Porter" released collaborative items. Iconic items met each other.
Levi's x Porter] Jacket ¥49,000+tax (Levi Strauss Japan 0120-099-501)
The new "Type II Trucker Jacket" was launched using the "Tanker" material, which is synonymous with the Porter brand. The iconic chest pocket of the Trucker Jacket is a detachable pouch that can be used as a shoulder bag by attaching a strap. The glossy nylon twill material and rescue orange lining give the jacket the feeling of being wrapped in a "tankard. A tag celebrating the 85th anniversary is also placed on the underside of the hem for a special touch.

The 85th anniversary commemorative items of Yoshida Kaban have been released in collaboration with leading brands in various industries, such as a teddy bear by Steiff and a special order model commissioned by Hakusan Opticians. Of these, we would like to focus on the "Freestyle" series, which has been popular as a standard item since its release in 2004, based on the concept of "having a series that people who like the texture of leather can carry more casually". The "Porter Freestyle Dyneema®︎ Leather" series is an updated version of the Freestyle series, which has been popular since its release in 2004.
Freestyle" uses a leather-like texture fabric made by crimping polyurethane onto the surface of densely woven No. 10 canvas, and is the first Japanese bag brand to use "Dyneema® ®︎ bonded leather" developed by Echo Leather Co. This hybrid leather was created by bonding Dyneema®, which is considered the world's strongest fiber, with cowhide. It is 15 times stronger than steel, yet light enough to float on water. Please check out the updated and reborn "Porter Freestyle Dyneema® ®︎ Leather" series.
