Bag Care & Registration

+ Read More

How do I clean and take care of my Cordura Nylon bag?

  • Normal soil may be removed with spray cleaner or detergent and water. DO NOT BLEACH.
  • Oil or grease should first be treated with a dry cleaning solvent, followed by a spray cleaner or detergent and water.
  • Do not machine wash/ machine dry your bag.
  • Do not have your bag dry cleaned.
  • Never force a zipper to close an over-packed bag.

How do I clean and take care of my Waxed Canvas bag?

  • TRY water first with a slight brushing or scrubbing.
  • USE a little bar soap or flaked soap or Saddle soap, only if necessary, on specified areas only. Sometimes a small amount of ammonia will help.
  • NEVER use detergent - liquid or powdered.
  • NEVER dry clean as the powerful environmentally damaging chlorinated solvents will remove the finish.
  • SPARINGLY apply Waxwear refinishing ointment - little heat from a hair dryer always helps.

How do I clean my Vinyl bag?

  • Use a sponge with soapy water to clean off any dirt or mild scuffs on your bag.

How long do your bags last?

Manhattan Portage bags are extremely durable, as they combine the finest materials (1000D Cordura Nylon by Invista, YKK zippers, Delrin buckles, etc.) with impeccable construction. We use these more expensive materials so that your Manhattan Portage bag will keep up with your life, and not need replacing for many years to come. Depending on how you treat your Manhattan Portage bag, you will keep it anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Some of our customers have kept their bags for over 20 years, but you may want a new color by then!

What if something still goes wrong with the bag I just bought?

Although a manufacturing defect is a rare occurrence, mistakes can happen from time to time when bags are hand-sewn and manufactured in large quantities. So this is why we offer a warranty against manufacturing defects. If something goes wrong with your Manhattan Portage bag after you buy it and if this is due to a manufacturing defect, we will take responsibility and repair or replace it. Please check our Warranty section on this page for further details.

How do I register my bag?

Manhattan Portage bags can last for a long time. Register your bag here for a Limited Lifetime Warranty and also verify that your bag is indeed a legitimate Manhattan Portage product.

Warranty

+ Read More

USA/Canada

Portage Worldwide Inc. offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects on all products that use CORDURA® brand fabric, purchased from authorized dealers to the original user/purchaser of the product. This warranty does not cover individual components, damage caused by improper care, or the natural breakdown of material through extended use (such as broken buckles, fabric abrasion, zipper wear, and foam breakdown). Any intentional modification to your bag such as machine washing/dying, dry cleaning, or removal of the brand label will void all warranty. If you believe your item is defective, please fill out and submit our online warranty request form, or mail us directly at warranty@manhattanportage.com.

Repairs due to normal wear, accident, negligence or improper care may be repaired at a minimum of charge of $15 (Charge will depend on the severity of the issue)

Products returned for warranty service will be qualified for replacement at the discretion of Portage Worldwide Inc or its local distributor.  It is important that you save the original receipt and do not remove any sewn-in labels inside or outside the bag so we can verify the authenticity of the bag and be able to process your warranty claim.

Please note that this limited Lifetime Warranty posted here applies for residents of the United States/Canada only. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

All Other Territories

The warranty policy on Manhattan Portage goods may vary based on locality. For additional details please contact the distributor in your country of residency.

If you are unsure where to submit your warranty inquiry, we can direct you to the right place. Please send an e-mail to warranty@manhattanportage.com and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Route Shipping Insurance

    Manhattan Portage has partnered with Route to offer shipment insurance on any order from ManhattanPortage.com. If you choose to purchase the Route+ addition on your order, for a nominal fee it will add insurance to your order against lost, stolen or damaged packages. If one of the aforementioned situations does arise, you can click here and easily file a claim.

    If you wish to purchase Route+ at checkout, look for the little icon below where you selection your shipping option (see graphic below).

    Route+

    IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT PURCHASE ROUTE+ PACKAGE PROTECTION, YOU WILL NEED TO DE-SELECT THIS TOGGLE AT CHECKOUT.

    Manhattan Portage does not cover lost, damaged or stolen packages and we would recommend customers who didn’t use Route+ to seek a claim with the shipping service used (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc).

    Some exclusions and limitations apply, please visit their insurance page and their Terms and Conditions for more information.

  2. How can I change my order after it has been placed?

    We aim to ship your bags within 24 hours.

  3. To cancel or change an order.

    you can contact us by email at onlineorders@manhattanportage.com or call our corporate office at (212) 226-9655 with your order number, last name, and specific changes that you want to be made. Please make sure the subject line reads 'Change Order'

  4. What methods of payment do you accept?

    * Visa * MasterCard * American Express

  5. Why is my credit card declined?

    Sometimes, international customers (i.e. customers who are not located in the United States) might have problems completing your orders due to credit card address verification. If you have trouble placing your order please call us at (212) 226-9655, fax us at 212-925-1057 or email us at onlineorders@manhattanportage.com. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  6. Why does it look like my credit card was charged multiple times?

    ManhattanPortage.com uses a payment gateway, which places an authorization on the credit card you submit for payment. An authorization is a verification which assures that the funds to be charged are available on the card, and holds these funds for a short period of time. Once we physically ship your Manhattan Portage product, we capture the authorization, and the charge is put through. If you tried to place your order multiple times because our system was having trouble verifying your credit card, an authorization (but NOT a charge) may have been placed on your card temporarily holding the funds. This authorization will expire automatically in 3-5 business days; however, if you need the funds available immediately, please email us at onlineorders@manhattanportage.com and we will void the authorization.

  7. How can I sell your bags in my store?

    Please contact sales@manhattanportage.com or call (212) 925-1085. For more information please see wholesale section.

  8. Where are your bags made now?

    While several bag components we use are still made in the USA (Waxwear Fabric, Cordura yarns from Invista and A Grade Leather for our newly launched Token line at: www.tokenbags.com), most of our production facilities are now located in Taiwan. We visit our Taiwanese factories on a regular basis to ensure superior quality, detailed craftsmanship and ethical working conditions. Like our hard working staff in New York, our factories in Taiwan employ teams of hardworking and experienced craftspeople who earn better living wages than other factories located in Southeast Asia. We still design our entire line of bags in New York City, and regardless of where MP bags are manufactured we are committed to maintaining the quality and integrity of our products, as well as maintaining a consistent supply chain and delivery time. Equally important is our pledge to provide consumers with the best possible quality and value at reasonable prices, which is unfortunately no longer possible if the bags were still to be made in the USA.
