Porter bags

[blueybubble]

I want to get a Porter bag but the designs in Singapore are very limited and I cannot find the official website of this brand. Is Porter from Japan? Which country sells more variety of Porter bags? Thankies in advance.

It's original... Just that, I find Singapore's Porter, are too over-priced! I always get my Porter from Taiwan... much cheaper, and more varieties....

Thanks fwlin89. When Porter International opened it's flagship store in Wisma a few years ago, I went there to check it out. Did not really see anything that I like. It was only recently that I came to notice the brand again. Want to get this bag.
Went to the website mentioned by fwlin89 but I think the model is quite old, thus no longer found. Does anyone happen to know where to get it? Thankies in advance!

Porter International @ Wisma is very expensive. I have the A4-size white Yoshida Co bag that is still instore. It costs a staggering S$200 more here as compared to Japan.

A small waterproof canvas bag costs about S$150 in JP and you can get a hp-size pouch for about S$60 as well.

However, I did see the Porter x Vivienne Westwood bag at Wisma. Material isn't fantastic tho.

blueybubble: the tote is from porter's "heat" collection. it's no longer available locally, but you can still find a couple of them on rakuten (eg. here).

Polke,

Thankies so much! But is there an English version of the website? I don't understand Japanese at all. Is it available online? Thanks a lot!
