Comment from AMBUSH® founder VERBAL

"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>"
