nvr try before. order from coolcat they only wrap a layer bubble sheet the into plastic envelope liao~

quite lousy in their packaging not like those Americans in boxes :s22:

Please leh mosmos, you first time buy japanese fashion label product? I believe you have bought yr own fair share of Porter stuffs, and Yoshida Porter is just like most other domestic designer labels where they pack it up with discreet/minimal packaging. Even in their own Headporter flagship store outlet in Japan, my friend just bought a Headporter mobile pouch meant for my music DAP player back in March this yr and its default packaging was pretty discreet w/o any cardboard case or boxes given as well.

The japanese people are usually quite well-known for been environmental friendly, and this is shown even for their electronic product box packages such as keitai cellphones/cameras. (mostly using recycled paper) Burberry Japan label is probably a brand exception though, I'm not a fan of this brand label but for my friends who have bought their wallet products before, it does come in a nice cardboard case packaging.

Anyone faced this issue where the straps of your sling bag keeps coming off your shoulders if you sling one side? Any solutions to this problem?

buy porter in HK cheap or not?

Cheaper to buy in Japan. But, if you are not planning to visit Japan in the next 12 months and you found a nice Jap Porter bag in HK, why not purchase it even though it is a lot more expensive than the price in Yen?

I bought two recently when I was in Taiwan.
