Established in 1983, Manhattan Portage was born out of a desire to create durable bags for the demanding urban environment of New York City. The brand's philosophy, 'New York Tough,' guided its initial focus on creating functional, resilient messenger bags for bike messengers, using materials like CORDURA® nylon and high-quality plastic buckles. This commitment to durability and practicality quickly found a broader audience, expanding from a niche following of bike messengers and DJs in the East Village to a mainstream consumer base.
