Looks great and seems to be of good quality.
I bought this bag over ten years ago. I have used it on many travels, local and international. I love the space and all the compartments. I ended getting it in blue as it goes with a majority of my outfits. Super sturdy, and I bought it at a great price. It's still a good value in my opinion. I ended up handing it down to my first cousin as I had to go a bit larger, but now that my baby/infant/toddler days are done... I miss it. So, I'm getting another one. But boy do I miss it. I saw my cousin's instagram feed with his travels using MY bag, now his, and I cannot until I get my new one. Oh, and its super easy to clean out!
So many compartments, zippers, spaces, features... it seems endless. It's also rugged. I've bought two of these bags in my life.
The first one I legit wore out: I had it for almost 10 years and treated it like dirt... I carried mountains of books, laptops, even barbells to work out. After a decade of rugged abuse, one of the metal clips for the shoulder strap finally gave out. But, no fooling, I really abused the bag badly, and it's a testament to Manhattan Portage that the bag lasted for a decade.
The second bag I bought in 2018, 5 years ago, and I treated it a little nicer. Unfortunately, I just lost it, so I need a new one, but it was going really strong, and showed no signs of weakness or use.
The bag is really easy to clean; actually, it doesn't seem to get dirty. At most, the red Manhattan Portage label gets a little ratty, but not too bad. Other than that, the bag refuses to look old or used.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine buying any other bag.
Well built, lots of pockets, professional enough for work, and even fits the big macboook pro!
Perfect size bag for my college fits in just enough of what I use comfortably good to have the back pack choice also
I've been using this bag for a year so far. It holds up in the rain, carrying heavy items and is a perfect size. No damage and no parts coming apart. Definitely recommend. It's a item you'll purchase and last a very long time.
Love this bag. I've bought it three or four times.
I would suggest the following improvements:
1. Remove backpack straps.
2. Wider bag allowing for the removal of the zipper expansion.
3. External water bottle or travel cup pocket.
I bought my sister the Wallstreeter in grey almost 30 years ago when she was a freshman at NYU and she still has that bag!
Recently, I bought my own Wallstreeter in red. Highlights include an expandable main body can accommodate a mid-2017 model 13" Macbook Pro in a padded case. 2 big pockets with snap closures under the main flap and 2 smaller internal pockets with zip closures inside the bag to organize all my daily odds and ends. A variety of external pockets for the stuff I need to get to quickly while on the go. Also includes a matching shoulder pad which is a thoughtful touch.
So far I'm enjoying owning this Manhattan Portage classic!
My friend has this bag and loves it. This is my next purchase.
