Aphrodite are now proud to stock a selection of the best selling series of Tanker bags hand-crafted by the Japanese company Yoshida & Co., Ltd, as part of their ‘Porter’ brand.

Established in 1935 in Tokyo, Yoshida & Co. Ltd. are at the helm of manufacturing excellence of functional, high quality bags and accessories constructed by the finest craftsmen Japan has to offer. “Heart and Soul into every stitch”, the company’s philosophy, is carefully followed by the employees at every stage required to create their products.

‘Porter’ was launched in 1962, to establish the company’s name at a time when department stores were the most popular outlet for designer wares. ‘Tanker’ is one of the best-selling series’ of the brand, inspired by the U.S. Airforce Flight Jacket MA-1. The series was released in 1983 and has remained popular through the years due to its functional design features and celebrated 3-layer construction. The signature bright orange – or ‘Rescue Orange’ – lining of the bags adds a contemporary edge to the otherwise classically designed bags.

Aphrodite are now stocking three styles developed as part of the Tanker series. The bags have a simple exterior, with the Porter Yoshida & Co., Ltd. logo patch stitched onto an outer pocket. The ‘Day Pack’ backpack, the ‘2Way Helmet Bag’ and the ‘2Way Briefcase’ are available in both Black and Khaki colourways. Developed with nylon twill, polycotton and nylon taffeta and featuring coated metal zips, buttons and eyelets, the ‘Tanker’ bags are made to age well and last a lifetime.
