The new Dyson x Porter collaboration is the kind of rarity you feel the moment you lay eyes on it. A limited-edition shoulder bag, designed around Dyson’s OnTrac headphones. Limited to only 380 in the world. Holding it is an experience: the weight, the texture, the quiet confidence it exudes. This is not a bag you carry; it carries you — your taste, your discernment, your refusal to settle for anything ordinary. Every line, every stitch, every contour has been conceived with the precision of an heirloom and the intent of a collector’s piece.
Luxury, in this case, is in the pause. Porter’s Japanese craftsmanship, meticulous and reverent, meets Dyson’s engineering exactitude to create an object that feels inevitable once encountered. Jake Dyson, chief engineer at Dyson, calls it “an object you cherish — something that merges engineering precision with design.” And indeed, it is the kind of collaboration that makes you reach for it not just to own it, but to treasure it — a wearable manifesto of refinement and aspiration.
Crafted for Beauty and Purpose
Every Porter shoulder bag is hand-assembled in Japan, composed of 77 thoughtfully considered components, each one chosen for function, texture, and aesthetic harmony. The external headphone holder is sculptural yet discreet, while the compact navy silhouette, accented with Porter’s signature orange and khaki, balances utility with streetwise elegance. A resin “tech slice” dangles, encapsulating sketches and components from the OnTrac headphones’ development — a miniature diary of creation. And every bag is numbered, each a rare piece in a collection that is as much about desire as it is design.
The OnTrac headphones themselves are engineered with the same devotion. Their contours, weight, and cushioning are calibrated for effortless wear, while the acoustics deliver a listening experience that feels intimate yet expansive. They are objects meant to be used, yet treasured — designed for the city, for the café, for the quiet moments in between, all while feeling quietly luxurious in every detail.
Low Key Lux
Subtlety is luxury. The anodised headphone caps carry Porter’s emblem, playfully reimagined wearing OnTrac headphones. The navy bag punctuated with orange and khaki exudes a quiet sophistication, while over 2,000 possible color combinations for ear cushions and caps allow each owner to make the headphones their own. Together, the bag and headphones transcend functionality. They are statements of intention, extensions of personal style, and testaments to the belief that what we carry can speak as eloquently as the clothes we wear.
A Limited Edition Legacy
Porter, under Yoshida & Co., has been perfecting bags since 1962, guided by the philosophy of putting “heart and soul into every stitch.” Dyson’s obsession with engineering precision represents the other end of the spectrum: futurism rendered in tactile form. In their collaboration, heritage meets innovation, craft meets high-tech, and the result is an object that feels simultaneously timeless and resolutely modern.
Owning one of the 380 Dyson x Porter pieces is more than exclusivity; it is participation in an intimate narrative of design. A bag that carries more than headphones, and headphones that exist as objects of desire. Dyson and Porter have not merely collaborated — they have created a collectible, a ritual, a rare luxury that transforms the everyday into something measured, deliberate, and utterly aspirational. In a world of fleeting collaborations, this one lingers: elevated, intentional, and undeniably stylish.
