They are famous for their luxurious feel and look and high sheen that can be spotted from a long distance even when using a dark colorway as seen in this picture:



Here some history of the brand:

If you are interested in one just buy from a place with a good return policy so that you can buy one and have a look and feel and then return it if it is not something you like. But mots people who buys Porter bags really like them!
Thank you for the detailed information.

I am considering this particular bag: https://www.yoshidakaban.com/product...e=30&p_lisort=

For the past 15+ years I've used a B&R briefcase, which has held up very well. However, I was recently given a new work laptop, which thankfully is much smaller and lighter than my previous brick. Therefore I'm looking for a smaller and ligher briefcase. So far the look and layout of the Porter is at the top of my list.
