Great to use as an alternative to a school bag or traveling bag. Huge for hauling heavy loads.

Ideal for carrying schoolbooks, clothes, and a host of other items, the Manhattan Portage New York messenger bag is spacious and tough. The New York is made of high-quality Cordura Plus nylon, a durable, long-lasting fabric that holds up to heavy use through the years. More significantly, the bag offers 1,800 cubic inches of storage, with a large main compartment for books, folders, a laptop, and more, a small zippered pocket on the interior, two zippered pockets and one open pocket underneath the flap, and an open pocket on the back for holding a magazine or newspaper.

The New York messenger bag offers multiple storage pockets. And as with any good messenger bag, the New York is secure and easy to carry, with Velcro and buckle closures and a soft shoulder strap. Other features include a small zippered pocket in the front flap for keys or small change, double reinforcement on the corners for durability, a water-resistant coating, and a top carrying handle. The New York measures 22 by 12.5 by 8 inches (W x H x D), weighs 1.2 pounds, and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

About Manhattan Portage
There was a simple philosophy that Manhattan Portage set out to achieve back in 1983: "A Bag For Everyone." And twenty-five years later it is certainly ringing true. From Montreal to Melbourne, Osaka to Oslo, and Stockholm to San Francisco, Manhattan Portage's line of bags are indeed everywhere. Despite their sweeping global popularity, Manhattan Portage remains loyal to their NYC roots. This 25-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 has been able to avoid becoming another fleeting fad and withstand the test of time because their bags do.

By innovating and expanding their line to accommodate the range of uses their bag owners' demand, the Manhattan Portage line has developed to serve all walks and runs of urban life. Whether you are a DJ transporting your spinning equipment, a cell phone-toting investment banker, a starving student hauling pricey textbooks, or a messenger racing to deliver documents on time, Manhattan Portage has a style for you. (Even if, like many New Yorkers, you fit into two or more of these categories!)

With their red logo, 1000 denier Cordura nylon, Delrin hardware, and a style selection including laptop bags, messenger bags, backpacks, and more, Manhattan Portage bags don't hide and won't be going away any time soon. The emergence of competitors and innumerable imitators hasn't fazed them, but rather left Manhattan Portage celebrating this ultimate sign of trend triumph. Although Manhattan Portage has received press in The New York Times, People, Newsweek, and the Village Voice, their media coverage is not what has fueled their resounding success. It is their versatility, durability, and adaptability that has allowed them to survive the ebb and flow of mercurial fashion tides.
