Manhattan Portage bags remains loyal to its NYC roots where they have been manufactured and visible (bike messenger bags zoomin at you from all directions anyone?) since they began over two decades ago. This 20-year lifespan in the volatile fashion world, and in a town that embraces the designer-of-the-moment but does not suffer has-beens, is no small feat. Manhattan Portage bags has been able to avoid becoming another fleeting fad (though we're glad DJs and their DJ bags blossomed). Manhattan Portage continues to withstand the test of time because the bags do.
