Tanker Briefcase 1990s

Porter's Tanker series — designed by Kichizo Yoshida and first produced in 1989 — is the most influential Japanese bag design of the 20th century. The MA-1 flight jacket-inspired nylon construction, the orange lining, and the YKK zipper combination have been referenced by Supreme, Comme des Garçons, and virtually every Japanese streetwear brand. Original 1990s Tanker briefcases with the Porter Japan tag are available for $100–$250. The global appreciation for Japanese craft and the brand's collaborations with Palace and Supreme have driven new collector awareness. Upside: $400–$1,200.
