Their PORTER line, named for the luggage-carrying profession of porters, is among their most popular, gaining international renown and recognition during the 1980s, and maintaining a cult status since then. Their bags are remarkable, all original designs, produced with custom textiles and hardware that will only get better with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePORTER's Luggage Label \/ OldNew collection is a limited release of Kakishibu-dyed nylon bags with patinated trims and beautiful tonal variety. Kakishibu is a traditional Japanese dying technique that uses aged persimmon tannins, with \"Kakishibu\" literally meaning \"persimmon astringency\". Kakishibu has also been called “Taiyo-zome (sun-dye)” due to the photosensitivity of the dye - areas exposed to light will grow darker and richer in tone, eventually reaching a true persimmon color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Luggage Label \/ OldNew line features two different nylon finishes, \"Kakishibu-zome\", an orange\/tan finish developed by soaking a white bag in persimmon juice and sun-drying it, and \"Kure-zome\", which modifies the persimmon dye by adding iron to the mixture, producing a warm charcoal\/black color. As a result of the sun-drying and natural dyes used, the finished bags have a weathered texture that will continue to fade and patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shoulder Bag is a small\/medium day bag with a shoulder strap and hand grip, featuring a surprisingly spacious interior that closes with a strap and D-ring combo and snaps. To pair with the \"antiqued\" fabric, the shoulder strap is made from a thick woven cotton rope with frayed ends as an embellishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom persimmon-dyed and sun-dried fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill fade and patina over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle internal pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon-taffeta lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven cotton rope strap with frayed edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable opening with snaps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawstring opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlap cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulder bag design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 12.20\" x 11\" x 8.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700g \/ 24.7oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom woven labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PORTER - Yoshida \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44023219912877,"sku":"210000064555","price":669.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/5633\/files\/PORTER-Yoshida_Co-LuggageLabelOldNewShoulderBag-Kakishibu_FLAT_-13_e49a2abb-485b-4474-96c7-01466fe2db60.jpg?v=1738889372","url":"https:\/\/standardandstrange.mom\/products\/luggage-label-oldnew-shoulder-bag-kakishibu","provider":"Standard \u0026 Strange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
