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.

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.
