Born out of the challenging and gritty landscape of the New York City streets nearly three decades ago, we were original pioneers of the authentic messenger bag that captured the spirit of New York City. And like the city, we have endures, we have grown, we have expanded and we have survived because Manhattan Portage is New York Tough. We’ve maintained a unique urban aesthetic based on the street art, pop art, and iconography of New York City life that we call “Downtown Smart.”
