N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE and PORTER Release a Military-Inspired Modular Bag Collection

A modular docking system lets the bags interlock and the pouches attach to bags or apparel.

The newest collaborative collection from N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE—an alternative line by Daisuke Obana’s N.HOOLYWOOD—and Yoshida & Co.’s original brand PORTER is here. Building on their ongoing partnership, the duo is rolling out a bag collection this season that reconstructs classic PORTER items through a military lens.

Drawing inspiration from PORTER’s ALL series, this collection strips each item down to a minimalist design. The lineup features four styles in total: a helmet bag, a backpack, a drawstring bag, and a pouch. The standout feature is a modular docking system that allows the items to interlock. Beyond combining the bags with one another, the pouches can also be attached to the bags or the apparel from this collaboration, allowing for effortless customization tailored to any use or style.

Crafted from PORTER’s original ultra-high-density 66 nylon fabric, the pieces feature a cotton-bonded nylon ripstop lining that perfectly balances an elegant luster with a soft, tactile feel. Each piece offers distinct storage capacities: 22.5L for the helmet bag, 25L for the backpack, and 4.8L for the drawstring bag. All models are available in two colorways, black and beige. Prices are set at ¥88,000 for the helmet bag, ¥92,400 for the backpack, ¥44,000 for the drawstring bag, and ¥18,700 for the pouch (all including tax).

Discussing the collaboration, N.HOOLYWOOD designer Obana cited the unique aesthetic and functionality of the PORTER ALL series as his reason for selecting it as the project’s foundation. He noted his attraction to its tough, industrial presence, defined by gear and accessory pouches placed in unconventional spots on a basic bag. Obana recalls that experimenting with detaching and repositioning the accessories gave him a sense of inevitability that ultimately sparked the concept for this release.

Explaining the decision to streamline the design, he emphasized his focus on sharing the inherent functionality of the PORTER ALL line across both bags and apparel. Rather than merely stripping away embellishments, the goal was to expand existing features to support a wider variety of uses. N.HOOLYWOOD’s design philosophy—”The wearer is the protagonist, not our brand”—is deeply reflected in this collection, which shifts its expression to match the user’s personal style and needs.

Touching on their shared approach to craftsmanship, he emphasized that both brands prioritize usability, safety, and practical scenarios ahead of mere appearance, expressing the core value that “the product always precedes the fashion.”

The PORTER x N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE collaboration collection drops on Friday, November 13, at direct-run stores including Mister hollywood and Mister hollywood OSAKA, as well as via the official online store.
