Different labels all made by Yoshida. Theres also Luggage Label. Porter is sold in chain stores in Japan but Head Porter is usually just sold at boutiques and some Department stores. Porter has its own store in Aoyama called Love & Peace. Head Porter has a flagship store in Harajuku.

When I've searched on this, I'm sure I've come across the name "David Caban"? Who is he?

Im looking for the site which had all the blurb... it was a jp site and I don't think i bookmarked it.

Edit. I don't know where I got the name David from Oops but this is quite informative:
