The "TANKER" series has been loved by many people for many years as a synonym for "PORTER" and celebrated its 40th anniversary last year in 2023.
Do you remember the news that "TANKER" would be reborn using 100% plant-derived nylon, which was announced during the anniversary year and took various circles by surprise? Many of you must have been waiting for the release of the new TANKER, wondering when it would be available.
The day finally arrives on May 15 (Wed.). The newly reborn TANKER will be available at selected PORTER STORE, Isetan Shinjuku, and DOVER STREET MARKET GINZA 2F, as well as at other selected stores around the world.
The 100% plant-derived nylon used in the new TANKER is derived from corn and castor beans. The world's first mass production of this material was realized through collaboration with Toray Industries, a world-leading synthetic fiber manufacturer in the development of advanced materials.
This material, conceived to ensure that "TANKER" will continue to be "TANKER" in the future, is an innovative environmentally friendly nylon that does not use fossil resources such as petroleum and can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to its 100% plant-derived properties.
In addition, the bag has been redesigned with original parts that are more user-friendly, including a zipper that is easier to pull, a pocket that can be removed, and metal parts that prevent the paint from peeling off.
The new "TANKER" lineup, which will go on sale on May 15 (Wed.), includes a helmet bag that symbolizes the series, a duffel bag that embodies the original concept of the "military-inspired travel series," and a shoulder bag that has never been seen before. The new "TANKER" lineup includes a total of 40 models, including a helmet bag that symbolizes the series, a duffel bag that embodies the original concept of the "military-style travel series," and a shoulder bag that has never been seen before.
The new "TANKER" was born from the skills of skilled Japanese craftsmen and Porter's commitment to craftsmanship. Please come and see the new challenge of this future-oriented brand in person at the store.
