The other day, while riding the train, a man carrying a heavy-looking backpack caught my eye. The man, who looked as if he could have been walking with a cane, got off at the next stop and strode off and quickly disappeared into the crowd. What can I tell you, it was...Previously in this articleAlso introduced inNewton." It was a backpack.
Last year, Porter Classic introduced the "Newton," a next-generation bag with shoulder straps made of Showa Nishikawa's "muatsu" bedding, which makes "luggage feel light" and is "gentle on the body. This time, Newton has collaborated with COMME des GARÇONS HOMME DEUX. The backpack was made with a lot of attention to detail.
NEWTON RUCKSACK ¥54,000+TAX(W29×H42×D12.5cm)
NEWTON RUCKSACK ¥54,000+TAX(W29×H42×D12.5cm)
The new "NEWTON RUCKSACK" is a black and navy colored bag that blends easily into urban life. The main zipper is wide enough to open and close easily from either side, and the watertight zipper protects the contents from sudden rain.
The size is not too large nor too small, and can easily hold an A4 file. The double zipper pockets on the front and the three eyelets are a subtle design feature, and both women and children will easily fit in the bag.
The handle is double-stitched for strength, and the base of the strap is reinforced with high-density nylon tape. Pockets are placed on both sides of the main body to hold a plastic bottle, cell phone, and a folded umbrella. The inside also has four inner pockets, both large and small, for ease of use.
Newton's newest product is the ultimate in weight reduction for everyone, from children to adults, especially businessmen who carry heavy luggage every day. The new products will be on sale from July 6, 2012.
