The textile crosses thread in three directions, vertical, horizontal and diagonal, and PORTER has built the series to draw the maximum functional benefit from that structure. PORTER positions the material as the world’s only textile realization of that hexagonal structure, made possible through advanced production technology. The triaxial cloth carries notable strength, springback and shape retention, and PORTER deploys it strategically rather than across the whole bag. For those tracking the release itself, “Bounce” is a five-model series covering backpack, messenger and shoulder-bag formats, and it lands as PORTER’s first new series in roughly 14 months. The PORTER “Bounce” series releases on August 7, available at select PORTER directly-managed stores, the Yoshida Kaban online store, and BIOTOP, among other retailers.
