Artist Yayoi Kusama's trademark use of polka dots can be seen applied to this recent multi-brand project between XLarge, X-girl and Porter.

The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was born on March 29, 1929. "Her work shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content."

There are two styles available, a messenger bag for the guys and a tote bag for the girls. These bags will be released on March 8th. Source: XLarge Japan
