A Heritage Collision: Lewis Leathers Joins Forces with PORTER for 90th Anniversary Drop

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Yoshida & Co.—the parent company of the iconic Japanese bag manufacturer PORTER—a high-octane collaboration with Lewis Leathers, the UK’s historic motorcycle clothing brand, is set to arrive.

About Lewis Leathers x PORTER 90th Anniversary Collection

This special release is expected to feature a six-piece lineup of bags and wallets that bridge the gap between British biker culture and Japanese artisanal craft. The collection utilizes premium cowhide to recreate the signature “diamond quilt” found on the legendary MONZA rider’s jacket. To ensure the authentic ruggedness of a vintage motorcycle piece, the items will incorporate hardware from historic British manufacturers, including Clix zippers and LIGHTNING ball chains. The result is a heavy-duty, sophisticated aesthetic that carries the weight of motorcycle history.

In addition to the leather goods, a bespoke version of the CYCLONE jacket will be released. Crafted from supple sheepskin, this exclusive edition features a cotton twill lining in PORTER’s signature rescue orange—a nod to the brand’s iconic MA-1 inspired heritage.

Rounding out the collection is a standout helmet bag featuring intricate stud work by Takuji Mikita of WOLF’S HEAD, a legendary Japanese brand known for its high-end vintage-inspired leather accessories. This piece, along with the rest of the lineup, is being praised as more than just apparel; it is elevated to the level of wearable art. For fashion enthusiasts and collectors, this intersection of Japanese and British heritage is expected to produce “grail” pieces that will serve as modern-day heirlooms.
