Great No Frills Bag

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013

Color: GreyVerified Purchase

I bought this bag in preparation for an upcoming trip but since it arrived it has become my everyday bag.

There is a lack of pockets which is upsetting at first but keeps items from getting lost. I can usually carry my tablet (10.1 inches), a bottle of water, cellphone, keys and a notebook with room to spare.

The bag is plain enough that it goes with anything and is heavy duty enough that I don't worry about the seams tearing or the strap coming off. However, there is no padding in this bag so you do have to remember to be careful if you're going to be carrying anything delicate.

All in all a great bag. Would highly recommend it to men looking for a simple bag without all the pockets/compartments that you find on some of the Maxpedition type bags.

Good looking, minimal, every-day bag, but short on pockets

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

I owned this bag when I lived in New York and used it every day for about 3 years until one side of the shoulder strap began separating from the bag. It was the perfect size and dimension for commuting to work with a book, magazine, small dig. camera, water bottle and extra sweater or scarf. It fit very well against my back, looked great with everything I wore (I had the olive green color) and the strap was pretty comfortable if not weighed down with overly heavy stuff. One downside--beside the strap eventually coming detached--is that there are very few pockets. I tend to prefer a clean, simple, minimal look and this bag certainly delivers on that front. But if you want to access your keys, wallet, phone, ipod, chapstick, mints, loose change, etc. quickly and easily without rummaging around in the one large zipper pocket, look elsewhere.

I recently bought this bag again (this time in black) almost 8 years after my first one to use as a bike-commuting bag here in L.A. The new version seems exactly the same except the plastic closure system has been changed. I definitely liked the old clasp much better as it was easier to quickly open and close w/ one hand without looking at it. The new one is very picky--it just feels weird and counter-intuitive--and I have to use both hands to snap it shut (I guess I just need practice.)

Overall, it's a very sturdy, minimal-looking, quality bag that is not so big that it makes you look like an over-loaded bike messenger or so small that it makes you look like you're wearing a purse or a tourist's passport satchel. I don't recommend using it to cart around a laptop (a netbook or ipad, maybe) but it will definitely fit all your daily urban essentials and look good doing it.

high quality bag

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2011

Color: NavyVerified Purchase

This is my second Manhattan Portage bag. I wanted to downsize from my gigantic 17" laptop bag, so I ordered this small DJ bag. My old bag was of exceptional quality, I've used it on my commute everyday for the last 4 years and it still looks new. My new bag appears to be just as well made. The small DJ bag is only about 1/3 the size of my old bag, so I have to limit what I'm carrying, of course that was the point of buying a smaller bag. It is still large enough for a lunch, a book, my 10" tablet, and an umbrella, and I still have some room left over. Due to the high quality of the materials and construction, I expect this bag will last at least as long as my old one.

“Record Bag”

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022

Color: GreyVerified Purchase

Was disappointed when received. It holds max 10 records (states 10-15) my issue is it’s extremely small and with records in, they aren’t protected and flap barely covers them. Maybe those bag should advertise to cover the smaller records as well.. 45s I believe? Not worth the money

Great bag, what I wanted

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

I looked a long time to find this. I don't like most current bags which have sometimes ten and more padded pockets that I'll never use. The pockets add material, and that means weight. All I need is a large main compartment for lunch and a thin compartment for papers. This bag has one main, one thin zippered, and one thin unzippered compartment. The bag is light, practical, and it looks stylish too.

For people who like and use many little zippered and velcroed pockets this bag will be on the minimalist side, but that's exactly what I enjoy about it.

Solid buy

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2013

Color: GreyVerified Purchase

I was looking for a smallish bag that would fit a tablet and some odds and ends. This bag is sturdy and looks great, and the price makes it very attractive. The only 2 issues are the lack of pen/card holders, and the buckle being hard to close with one hand.

Perfect for carrying comics

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012

Color: GreyVerified Purchase

I bought this bag for my husband to use for carrying comic books. It's the perfect size for 25-30 bagged and boarded comics or a few "Essentials" collections. He used at at NYCC with great success as he carried his sketchbook, some comics to be signed, some swag, plus his wallet & phone. It is sturdy and doesn't have excess pockets to cause lumps or bending.

J'en possède quelques unes de marques différentes et celle-ci est devenue ma préférée.
La taille est idéale et son look réussi.
Les matériaux sont de qualité et elle risque de durer un bon bout de temps, donc l'investissement est bon.
