An iconic bag that adds a touch of elegance.


This exclusive model, officially licensed by the Italian Postal Service, is inspired by the shoulder bags used by Italian postal workers in the 1950s. Featuring a distinctive turn-lock closure on the front and flat rivets on the sides, and crafted from high-quality grained leather, it's a versatile piece perfect for both casual weekend wear and work.

This bag is larger than a standard women's size and can accommodate A4 documents. It has internal dividers for organizing your belongings. The 2-way design, allowing you to carry it over your shoulder using the strap, is another convenient feature.

The soft leather creates a unique shape and gives it a sophisticated, worn-in look (Aoto)

Zanellato was founded in 1976 in Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, as a sartorial workshop specializing in leather goods, producing high-quality gloves and accessories. Their products are infused with exquisite and exceptional handmade craftsmanship. Many women's leather bags of this size tend to have sharp corners, so the softness of this bag is truly impressive when you touch it. (Kodaira)

Doesn't it look compact even when I, at 152cm tall, carry it? It has excellent storage capacity, but of course, it gets heavier when you put things in it. This bag can be carried in various ways, so you can change how you hold it and shift the center of gravity, making it very versatile. (Kimura)

A backpack that reduces the feeling of weight on the body.


Porter Classic's "newtonbag" is an item that uses "muatsu," a best-selling product from bedding manufacturer Showa Nishikawa, for the shoulder straps. Inspired by the tip of a space rocket, its egg-shaped form supports the body at points (concave and convex) rather than across a surface, distributing pressure and reducing the perceived weight (*). (*Individual experiences may vary.)

The main body is made of durable Cordura nylon, which is about seven times stronger than regular nylon and highly resistant to abrasion. The double-slider zipper allows for a wide opening and closing, making it easy to put in and take out items from either side. With its simple design, it's an item that can be used by both men and women, and by people of all ages, from small children to the elderly.

Its compact design is convenient for carrying essentials, and it can be worn in your preferred location, such as on your chest, shoulder, waist, or back, leaving your hands free and reducing stress while on the go.
