Founded on the streets of New York City in 1983, Manhattan Portage is the original urban bag brand that pioneered the messenger bag. From the very beginning, our mission was simple: to take the functionality of outdoor gear and adapt it for city life—a philosophy we call New York Tough.
We combined rugged materials like CORDURA® brand nylon and Delrin® buckles with clean, purposeful design to create bags that are durable, innovative, and made for motion. The result is a collection trusted by bike couriers, creatives, and commuters across the globe.
Now re-launching in the UK, Manhattan Portage returns with a focused collection that blends everyday utility with global street appeal. Hero styles include the iconic NY Messenger Bag, the versatile Europa Bag, and a curated range of messenger bags, backpacks, and crossbody bags—all built to handle the pace of modern city life.
Whether for work, travel, or daily use, Manhattan Portage bags deliver timeless design with an edge. Visit us to explore the collection and be part of the next chapter of an NYC original—rebuilt for today’s streets.
