Italian imprint One Block Down launches the new Hazy Smokey Night collection for the Spring/Summer 2022 season made in collaboration with Japanese brand PORTER. The duo delivers four exclusive designs for the season and it takes on PORTER's silhouettes as the base foundation with new updates. It includes the Wallet, the Bonsac, the Key Case, and the Nylon Tote Bag.
The accessories are all designed with PORTER's iconic three-later fabrication that is used to create MA-1 flight jackets along with natural canvas materials as well. The exterior has a cream tonal design and the interior boasts a vintage army-green nylon fabric. There is also a co-branding label on the pockets and large fabric tags at the openings.
