Aurel Schmidt’s got a thing for trash, because when you’re a city girl, of course. Take her beloved Trash Dolls series for instance, where cigarette butts, stray pills, toys make up mischievous characters. The New York-based artist has officially unveiled a new collaboration collection with luggage heavy-hitter PORTER, taking her beautifully lawless motifs onto a new canvas.
The collaboration features a four-piece range — a backpack, a two-way tote, a roll Boston bag and a two-way Madison bag — each completed with colorful zipper detailing and added omamori charm for a playful punches of Japanese flair.
Schmidt enters on an all-over design packed with exclusive illustrations inspired by her time in Japan with subtle nods to PORTER’s own heritage throughout; fish heads, fruit peels, lucky charms, loose yen and dime bags become one on white nylon, and because the fabric is cut at random, no two pieces are exactly alike.
