Esteemed Japanese luggage brand PORTER celebrates its 80th anniversary with the help of Hong Kong toy designer, Michael Lau. The multi-faceted Michael Lau reinterprets PORTER’s iconic mascot through his own lens and that of his ongoing GARDENER character series — something seen through both art and toys.
