Globe Canvas bags is still in production. One of the few remaining brands that are still manufacture in the US. The brand and their root was founded in NYC in 1946. the above user is wrong as the site provided description and pictures.

whoa. that bag on the dm-bag site is even uglier than the demartini bags.com bags. are they even waxed or lined with polyurethane? no description of any kind.

Nothing against Globe Canvas or anything; we worked with them in the past. I'm just not sure currently WHO is making the products right now (I believe it might be my bosses former partner, but I'm not 100% sure).
Their website hasn't changed in YEARS which is why I'm not even sure of their status.

LOL. They call them "original New York bags" and they're located in Connecticut. They look kind of lame. Sorry, but they do. And the Web site is just an image.

demartini was the man's name. he passed on a couple of years ago, not before selling his bag design to MP and his name to an outfit either in nj or connecticut. try demartinibags.com – xypher, on July 08, 2008 21:26

That is also a concern or rather a preference of mine, if the Wallstreeter Laptop Bag I'm really digging is US made, then I will definitely get it, even if costs more. Please say that you do have this particular model produced locally...

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Manhattan Portage bags. We do come out with several new designs every year. Although we do have new backpack designs in mind, the most common size of backpack we get inquiries on is a school sized bag, like the 1202 or 1210. Although we may make a larger bag in the future, we do not have any immediate plans to ad a larger backpack to our line.

xypher asked a question in Manhattan Portage on June 02, 2008 21:11:

larger backpack?

was in your store recently looking for a backpack(1210) i saw online. it's a little to small for my purpose and was wondering if manhattan portage would be making a larger version down the road. that ballistic backpack(2103) just does not interest me.

i was surprised that manhattan portage bags were not made in n.y. anymore myself, but as long as they are made in a safe and worker happy environment, i will continue to buy manhattan portage.
