Manhattan Portage] ★About the Brand ★

Manhattan Portage was born in New York City in 1983 with a simple desire to bring quality bags to as many New Yorkers as possible. The first bags were designed and commercialized for New York City bike messengers and East Village DJs with the goal of simplifying people's lives.

Manhattan Portage's DNA, "New York Tough," which stands for "versatility," "durability," and "adaptability," and its philosophy, "a bag for everyone," are important brand slogans. Manhattan Portage has developed products for a wide variety of lifestyles under the brand slogan "New York Tough," which represents "versatility," "durability," and "adaptability.


Manhattan Portage's simple philosophy, “New York Tough,” is what we set out to achieve in 1983. Almost 30 years later, it is now a reality. From Montreal to Melbourne, Osaka to Oslo, Stockholm to San Francisco, Manhattan Portage bags are everywhere, and everyone has one. Despite its worldwide popularity, Manhattan Portage has remained true to its NYC roots. In the ever-changing world of fashion, where only the trendiest designers are respected, it is extremely difficult for a brand to remain in existence for almost 30 years. Manhattan Portage is not just a passing fad, but a brand that can stand the test of time.
