The Summer Bag Edit
A Guide to Daily Carry for Warmer Months
During the warmer months, when outer layers are pared back or left behind, a well-considered bag becomes essential. Without the extra storage of a jacket, it takes on a more central role — carrying daily tools, travel essentials, or anything you might need along the way.
This season, we’ve assembled a selection of bags that combine utility, durability, and refined design. From heritage-crafted staples to performance-driven silhouettes, each one is built to adapt — and built to last.
Below, we highlight standout styles from Porter Yoshida & Co., visvim, MONOLITH, and others.

Porter Yoshida & Co
Founded in Tokyo in 1962, Porter Yoshida & Co. has spent over six decades perfecting the art of carry. Every piece is made in Japan by skilled artisans, guided by the brand’s enduring philosophy: “One stitch, all soul.”
This season, we highlight a selection of compact shoulder bags, totes, and multi-pocket styles that reflect the brand’s core values — purpose, durability, and attention to detail. Lightweight yet hard-wearing, these bags are ideal for daily use when you’re carrying more but wearing less.
Subtle branding, smart organization, and a commitment to Japanese manufacturing make Porter bags a reliable choice for summer and beyond.

visvim
Guided by Hiroki Nakamura’s philosophy of purposeful design, visvim bags pair rugged durability with a deep respect for tradition. Natural dyes, hand-finished leathers, and densely woven canvas result in pieces that feel lived-in from day one — and get better over time.
For the warmer months, visvim’s soft-structured totes and daypacks offer a balance of function and form. Their understated silhouettes, organic materials, and quiet detailing make them easy to integrate into daily use — whether you're commuting, travelling, or exploring further out.
Each bag carries the brand’s signature imperfections — subtle signs of handwork and material nuance that invite wear and personal character.

MONOLITH
Engineered in Japan with a focus on performance, MONOLITH bags offer a highly functional solution for modern carry. Constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials, each piece is built to handle movement—whether across the city, between meetings, or through airport terminals.
Ideal for those who value clarity in design and function, MONOLITH bridges the space between technical gear and daily use.
This season’s selection includes backpacks, totes, and waist bags designed for structure, protection, and seamless organization. Interiors are purpose-built, with dedicated compartments for everyday tools and travel essentials, while clean lines and low-profile branding keep the look refined and versatile.
Choosing the Right Carry
What you carry — and how you carry it — often shifts with the season. Warmer months mean fewer layers and less built-in storage, making a good bag not just useful, but essential. Whether you prefer structured technical designs or softer heritage silhouettes, the best bags disappear into your routine — functional, dependable, and built to last.
