Japanese randoseru manufacturer Seiban celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019. Looking forward to the next 100 years, the company is looking to expand overseas, and so has launched its first ever overseas brand SICOBA which will develop products for adults. It began selling online to Germany on August 20, 2020.
Since April 2018, Seiban has manufactured and sold randoseru to the Asian market, with a focus on China. While carrying out surveys to expand themselves further overseas, they began planning for sales in Germany, a country where craftsmanship is considered number one, as well as creating long-lasting products. Seiban believed that they shared an affinity with Germany when it came to the quality of created products. Together with their German partners WEVENTURE, they launched the development and sales of randoseru backpacks for adults to be sold in Germany.
The products in the SICOBA range make sure of bag manufacturing techniques that have been cultivated for over 100 years—by a company that boasts a team of randoseru masters. The company plans to expand their products outside of Germany into the whole of Europe in the future.

"For this collaboration, I was interested in how PORTER and STANLEY's products are easy to use, which matches today's lifestyle. I actually use STANLEY bottles in my studio and when I order coffee at coffee shops, so this was a collaboration I'm happy to have done. PORTER's bags are just the right size. I wanted something that was thoroughly made down to the finest details, so I feel new possibilities [from this collection] which focuses on the necessities. PORTER bags are handy for popping outside so I can use them in the day or at night, and STANLEY bottles I use at work and at home <laughs>"Information
