Good Bags Have One Million Pockets
Can a bag ever have too many pockets? POTR’s new DISSECTION collection offers a resounding “No.” These bags are so over-encumbered by pockets that the little removable pouches all but stop being useful and start being an aesthetic upgrade.
POTR is a line of military-minded bags produced by 90-year-old accessories label Yoshida & Co. (not to be confused with Yoshida’s other military-inspired bags label, PORTER). Its conventional designs are already utilitarian, replicating the shapes of tactical bags in rugged materials like Cordura’s ballistic nylon.
The DISSECTION line takes things one step further. Two POTR mainstays, its backpack and its tote bag, are fitted with an additional front panel featuring a slew of cargo pockets and a middle zip revealing a mesh pocket specifically for carrying shirts or bottles. They look like tactical bags wearing zip-up tactical vests.
Three corresponding crossbody bags have a similar arrangement of sizeable cargo pockets combined with D-rings for hanging extra gear.
According to POTR, the size of each pocket has been carefully considered and added in the optimal position to make for easy packing and unpacking. The idea is that there’s a perfectly sized pocket for every imaginable belonging, meaning no more feeling around the main compartment hoping to land upon a particular item.
Keys? There’s a nifty zip-up compartment for those on the top left pocket. Water bottle? Bottom right. Shirt? Inside the main mesh compartment. It’s a neat-freak’s dream.
