~Porter Japan Official Thread~

[Haonan]

thank u for the compliments...but its expensive though. set me back by 170 SGD

170 for a Porter/Headporter bag is usually considered cheap already to be honest, their usual prices for bags are usually in the 200-300 range, with backpacking haversacks or luggage series usually costing even up to 500sgd, since it's a japanese designer label. Afterall, they are specialised in making bags and stuff, with quality premium material.

You can use the EMS chart below that I cut and paste for u, to roughly gauge how much is ur 3 bags if u order via Coolcat. They ship via EMS (insured) so it's accurate. I'm guessing a bag roughly weights abt 500g-1kg depending on the size/material of the bag, because the other time I ordered my bag from Coolcat, EMS fees was slightly ard 20SGD, so ya it's abt 500g or more. You can email them though, I believe such online retailers usually have an electronic weighting scale so they will be able to ans u directly.

My post here will answer ur question. But it's worthwhile to note that just like any other tourist attraction, most countries do have their own shop owners who does their own imports/export goods, especially when we're talking abt places like HK or Taiwan. So probably u will be able to find a few small shops there also selling both Porter Tokyo/Headporter stuffs.

Anyway OT abit, I noticed this thread like around so long liao, nobody bothers to vote and give ratings to this thread lol. So I'm trying to urge u guys, if you guys like this thread do give your ratings to it, it's amazing how I have been clicking 5 stars for this and it doesn't show up even one star.

Hey HaoNan,

Thanks for your reply. Regarding buying from small retail shops, any shops(selling headporter) to recommend in HK? I'm scared to purchase a fake as I do not have much knowledge on Porter/HP.

Hi GamerZ,

Other than the information provided here bu SuFu forumers, I can only tell u the other things to identify whether it's authentic or not, is by seeing the price tag and whether it comes with it's authenticity proof (Headporter comes with a black card, while Porter Tokyo goods comes with a 2-sided like white softcard slip with it's main logo (the luggage man) printed on it. I have provided u with a few pics below on how to identify a Yoshida Porter Tokyo line series made product, however I can't find any close-up pics on the label and its black card for HP products, and since I dun own any HP products either, I can't help u here. Perhaps u can ask some members here who own Headporter line products to take macro shots of the label and the black card for u.

First check, this kind of tags should come with every brand new Porter Tokyo products, any of their lines will come with it, even my PSP Pictogram series collaborated by Sony x Porter. The product model number will be printed on it as seen in this pic, so it's good if u know what's the exact product number of it. Also shown is the tag label on the bag itself, just check and see that the wordings are not wrong, HP is also the same wordings, word for word. However do take note the label tag backdrop color differs from series to series, and some HP products actually have a white backdrop color with black wordings instead, so it doesn't mean it must follow the color scheme shown here for the tag label.

Second check, every Yoshida Porter Tokyo products will come a white softcard slip like this shown here. Main logo is usually printed on the left, with their franchise names in Japan printed on the middle and then an exclamation mark with small japanese wordings below on the right. It's a 3-sided slip actually, not 2-sided as shown in this pic just to clarify. Meaning if u lay it flat down on a table with the softcard fully extended, it should match and show the following descriptions like what I had described above.

Hope this helps. ^ ^

Thanks for the bump! Yeahh I can see that this thread finally has a 5-star rating! Woot Porter banzai!

Mai itchy liao lah, if you really need a pouch or bag, just opt for Porter. They're one of the most reliable bag manufacturers I had ever owned, coupled with great design and reliability. ^ ^
