Head Porter

[Jean Snow]

Anyone know if there's an official Head Porter website? Or even any site that lists all of their bags?

they have a corporate site with zero product info. this might be your best bet:

If you're in NYC theres the Headporter store above Stussy's on Wooster.

Life is like a certain male organ. Sometimes its hard, but we always wish it was longer.

you may want to visit this site

and those you can find in oki-ni is not from head porter but porter, they are different.

the clothing line of HP is called head porter plus.

hi...care to elaborate on the difference between head porter and porter? I cant seem to make out any difference btw the 2 because their label all look the same. So how do u exactly differentiate a real from a replica head porter? Because i ve seen porter bags with tags that are greyish white with the words "porter" on it, no tthe usual black with "headporter". anyway t o tell a genuine from a variant? Thanks for sharing man!

[Jean Snow]

They're all just part of the Yoshida Kaban company. I wrote "Head Porter," but I actually just meant "Porter." Last month I got a really nice Porter agenda/organizer, and now I'm lusting for a 3-way bag. I also want the Porter iPod case.

I'm becoming a Porter whore.

basiclly HP and Porter are 2 different labels but same manufacturer.

HP only available in their stores in harajuku and nyc.

[kremedla]

is anyone interested in a black porter 3 way laptop bag similar to the tank? it is the tokyo version, barely used.

if interested pm me, let me know and i can provide pics-

[jjs home]

what exactly is this company? Like what makes them special to where they are a destination product?

[kremedla]

like any other luxury good you decide when you see it as to what makes it special. exclusivity, high quality, and basically japanese- hmmm...similar formula to bape i'd say but not as 'street' can definitely dress it up....check some of the links in this thread or [www.hideoutstore.com]

[jjs home]

I understand that clearly, and am checking that link right now. I guess my question is what are you guys feelings on the product, and why are you all drawn to it. All the information so far just about porter/head porter has been helpful

[kremedla]

to be honest, i purchased the laptop case not knowing the hype around it, it was the design, pure and simple. it is a 3 way case meaning that there are hidden backpack straps, a heavy duty 'across the chest' strap included and a handle at the top end when it is in a vertical position. then there is the material which is parachute quality nylon...the only reason i want to sell is because i rarely use it now and will be moving soon...

[showbiz00ditc]

im going to NY next month and am thinking of getting a headporter/porter bag for school for next year. what pricerange could i expect for a backpack?

and would it be any cheaper than a bag from supreme or something?

[hahnstch]

showbiz, a headporter backpack can give you three supreme backpacks plus a hoodie...

their backpacks can cost up to $580 (i've seen it before at the wooster shop), whereas supremes go for $150

[aitsuka]

why is head porter or porter so expensive

does porter or head porter also manufacture the bags and stuff for stussy also?

-don't hate, appreciate-

[hahnstch]

in my opinion, exclusivity, made in japan, ballistic nylon (i think), quality, and of course stussy chapter's own markup.

i dont think HP manufactures stussy stuff. most of stussy bags are probably made in china

[rhythmandsound]

the new Atmos x Porter stuff is sick

pretty high quality stuff..

its been rumored that some Prada products were "inspired" by the quality and design of Porter bags
