The description of the collaboration reads,

"This is a special collection with Japan's world-class national character "Doraemon".Doraemon, a cat-shaped robot from the land of the future, is a friendship fantasy that spreads with his best friend Nobita."

Porter also explained their thought process behind the designs.

"Doraemon dressed as a "porter" is vividly expressed on the surface and interior of the bag with high-density embroidery and prints. The elegant and calm navy-colored nylon twill is made from the original bonded fabric. The interior is blue, which symbolizes Doraemon.
