The Tanker collection by PORTER is a celebrated series known for its rugged yet stylish design, featuring items like the Tanker 2-Way Briefcase and Tanker Waist Bag. Launched in the early 1980s, this collection is notable for its use of military-grade nylon and unique colorways, including the iconic 'Olive Drab' and 'Black'. Collectors highly seek these pieces for their durability and timeless aesthetic.
Currently, the Tanker collection is in high demand, with many items being discontinued or produced in limited runs. Prices have seen a steady increase, particularly for rare variants and collaborations.
