i assume porter international is the porter boy carrying bags logo
what abt headporter?
Porter Intertional = Another line that is different from Porter / Headporter. Long story behind this but personally I wont pay that much for PI.
Headporter = A diffusion line which is more streetstyle-oriented headed by Hiroshi Fujiwara.
Porter = the original line established way back, extensive range of series from the basic kinds to the more exclusive range which incorporate usage of horse hide, distressing etc...
finally got this 3 in 1 for work use...pardon the poor pictures
anybody can kindly just brief me thru what's what...
seems now Porter International = Taiwan Brand
Headporter = Jap Designers and fashion line
Porter = ???

Yo bro, I do realised that this thread might have too many pages for u to follow-up, so I'm just gonna highlight the previous impt posts that was already mentioned in this thread by me, that actually contains answers to ur enquiries above. Do read these posts here and here to understand abt the differences btw them.
In short, Porter International is not really considered part of the original Yoshidakaban company (Yoshida and Co in short) in Japan, but the reason why they're allowed to use the household Porter name, basically as explained in the previous posts highlighted above, it's due to trademarks usage actually (Japan uses Yoshida & Co as trademark domestically). And the reason why here locally at the Porter International outlet in Wisma, u can find some very limited range of Porter Tokyo items retailing for sale here locally, apart from their own taiwan domestic releases, is because of this press release which Porter International has finally come into an agreement to bring in Yoshidakaban's domestic releases too, in short Porter Tokyo allows its domestic merchandise for official retail in Taiwan and China as part of the new distributor agreements.
While in Japan, Hiroshi Fujiwara is considered sorta a 'household name' when it comes to japanese street fashion, with his own in-house design firm Fragment Design, he also does collaborations with popular labels such as Nike and Levi's, for example the Nike x hTm AF1s range of sneakers, or Levi's Fenom premium range of jeans just to quote some of his in-house collaborations. Basically due to such a strong cult following and popularity when it comes HF's streetwear labels, Headporter soon gained a cult status for itself ever since it was established in 1998, and have since been doing lotsa collaborations with other domestic japanese labels too such as BEAMS and Neighborhood respectively.
So in all honesty, those who are really into streetwear, the situation's now is like basically Porter Tokyo/Porter International goods are been discriminated as been more inferior, cos majority of those who're into the streetwear scene may feel that anything to do with Headporter these days are considered the perfect niche for themselves, instead of anything by Yoshidakaban or Porter International for that matter.
This is merely some opinion differences btw online communities at the moment for the streetwear scene right now from what I've seen, for both Porter Tokyo/Headporter and it has nothing to do with their manufacturing material or prices differences. To me I only buy or look at the range and design of the bag offerings it can offer me, so whether ppl think Headporter or Hiroshi Fujiwara's in-house labels are considered more dope, it doesn't bother or waver my buying decision for Porter Tokyo or Headporter merchandises. To me fashion has always been abt been yourself, and not just hearing other opinions or copying others by having the herd amasses mentality.
Just my 2 cents worth of opinions. sorry for the wall of text btw.
I see i see, nice wor I had always had a liking for the Porter HEAT series sia, always wanted to buy the Heat Shoulder tote for myself. Just curious, ur Heat series can tahan wet weather/rain? I'm looking for a range that's resistant to wet conditions, so at least during rainy weather I don't have to worry abt spoiling my bag and bringing alternatives out. My current Ounce series the material is not recommended for rainy days as a matter of fact, cos it's denim material.
can tahan i already put my bag to test liao last week lol
a point to note about the 3 way tanker briefcase.
it has a zip at the back of the bag, thus if u cross sling often, it has the tendency to rub against the back of your t-shirt, causing excessive wear (hairs) on that particular area.
a personal experience.
hi hi...
anyone been to japan to buy headporter can tell me which store did u patronize and if its cheaper than the price quoted at head-porter.org, address appreciated if given
Headporter - Juice @ Patterson Road.where in hk can find authentic and large range of headporter?
