Studio Nicholson introduces their debut collaboration with Japanese bag and accessories specialists YOSHIDA & Co. for their POTR Brand. This partnership places elevated fabrication and functionality at the heart of the POTR Made in Japan collection with three styles produced in Studio Nicholson’s signature Darkest Navy colourway. The capsule arrives in various sizes and silhouettes: a reworked Bonsac shoulder bag, a versatile messenger bag and a daily key pouch set. All are handcrafted in a luxurious, hard-wearing Japanese nylon chosen for its high density and durability.
Studio Nicholson x POTR Collaboration
With a matt texture and washed appearance, the Japanese nylon offers a cool hand feel as the outer and inner fabrics are comprised of a three-layer bonding fabric with polyester padding in between, making it both soft and lightweight. The inner lining is produced in a dense 70D durable ripstop for added strength. The 100% recycled high-density taffeta nylon applied to the outer has been salt-treated to create a fluorine-free, water-repellent quality.
"I first encountered Porter Yoshida on my first visit to Japan in 1999 when my brother and I bought two motorcycle helmets and found these fantastic Porter helmet bags for them too from Tokyu Hands."
"For me what stands out in our collaboration is the interesting colour of the nylon taffeta. It is a really, really special material that is neither black, grey or navy, making it extremely versatile and the perfect accessory for any daily outfit. The Bonsac bag in particular creates an interesting shape and volume when worn which changes your silhouette"
– Nick Wakeman, Founder & Creative Director of Studio Nicholson.
The Studio Nicholson x POTR collection will be available in-store and online on Thursday 1st May.
