MANHATTAN PORTAGE

Designed in USA

Manhattan Portage’s founding principle in 1983 was to produce "A Bag For Everyone," but it also yielded some revolutionary styles that would become ubiquitous today, including the world’s first original urban-styled messenger bag. More than 25 years later, the brand's international popularity hasn't dimmed its patriotism for NYC, the city that inspires its products. Thanks to a no-nonsense attitude to making practical bags that eschew ephemeral trends and industry hype, the brand has emerged as a reliable institution with cross-generational appeal. The label's instantly recognizable Red logo is a familiar sight on the metros and streets of major city. Whether you’re a “DJ transporting your spinning equipment, a cell phone-toting investment banker, a starving student hauling pricey textbooks or a messenger racing to deliver documents on time,” Manhattan Portage's reliability and function is taken seriously.

Incorporating proprietary technologies such as 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon (to keep the bags lightweight, abrasion-resistant and extremely durable) and Delrin hardware, the brand aims to make every bag a lifetime investment. Despite phenomenal growth, the brand continues to behave like a new independent brand.
