Although we made a pretty good stab at the perfect daily duffle bag but Porter have a few options of their own. If you need something durable, good looking and functional then the medium sized Swell Boston bag might be for you. The navy and black options are easily my favorite options for this compact luggage. I think it would be great for packing a camera, your lunch and some text books for school this fall. The bag is now available from Beams and their continuing collaboration with B Yoshida.

Nice. the dimensions are just right. It's between porter and visvim for best technical duffle. for aesthetics I actually think the h(y)r wins. simple and the colors are just right. any chance of a restock?
Unfortunately we don't have any more duffles in the works. But we do have a new bag coming soon...
I do believe we were promised a new issue of the magazine by september, it isn't fair to get peoples hopes up like that I'll have you know.
The hype around Porter in the western world is a bit funny. The stuff isn't all that special in Japan. None of the cool guys in Japan I know would be seen in public with anything Porter. It is not special enough, being available in every department store over there. But at least, it is cheap in Japan.
Over here and in Europe, it is completely ridiculous because the prices are 2x - 3x higher than in Japan.
^Philip - Trust me, there is plenty of content on the way. There will be a new issue of sorts THIS month as well as something extremely special for November. Please stay with us just another week or two!
