the Manhattan

$409

Nobody has to know it started the day as a backpack.

The Manhattan carries like a backpack until the day calls for something else, then the straps tuck away with hidden magnets and the side handle takes over. Three main zippered compartments keep gear separated instead of piled together, and a discreet back pocket holds cash or a phone somewhere no one's reaching for it uninvited.

Inside, a durable canvas interior holds up to the daily in-and-out of a bag that's actually used, not just carried. The laptop sleeve fits up to a 16" MacBook, with enough room for a keyboard and mouse alongside it, so the whole setup travels together instead of getting split across bags.

One bag. It just doesn't advertise which one.

the Manhattan

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING

Dedicated pockets keep keys, cards, and your phone right where you left them, so you're never digging for what you need.

LEATHER WHERE IT COUNTS

Full-grain leather on the handles and trim, where your hands actually grip.

STRUCTURED YET LIGHTWEIGHT

Andar bags hold a structured silhouette that keeps its shape without heavy padding or liners.

MINIMAL HARDWARE, MAXIMUM FUNCTION

Clean stitching and hardware that's there to work. No excess zippers or logo hardware.

SHIPS FROM GILBERT, ARIZONA

Every order leaves Andar's own warehouse in Arizona. Real people, real craft. Not a dropship from overseas.

other Bags

ONE BIG BLACK HOLE

Most bags give you one main compartment and a token slip pocket. Everything sinks to the bottom and stays there.

CHEAP HANDLES GO FIRST

Budget bags cut corners on handles and trim, and that's exactly where they crack, fray, and give out first.

FLOPPY OR HEAVY, PICK ONE

Cheap bags either collapse on themselves or overstuff lining and frames to fake structure, adding dead weight.

LOGO NOISE, CHEAP ZIPPERS

Fast-fashion bags rely on oversized branded hardware to signal quality, while zippers snag and hinges tarnish within months.

SLOW OVERSEAS SHIPPING

Generic brands ship direct from foreign warehouses with 3–6 week waits and zero customer accountability.

Literally the best wallet I've owned. When you just want to smell it, you know it's good. Slim, minimal, durable, classy. What's not to love?

Stylish, Functional, and Worth It

I’m really impressed with the Andar Manhattan bag. The quality immediately stands out—the materials feel premium, the design is clean and sophisticated, and it has plenty of room without feeling overly bulky. It works perfectly for carrying my everyday essentials while still looking professional enough for work or travel.

I especially like how versatile the Manhattan is. It has that understated, elevated look that works just as well with business attire as it does for a more casual weekend. Overall, it feels thoughtfully designed and well made. Definitely a great purchase and a bag I expect to use for years.

Andar Manhattan

I have been searching for one sort of a bag which would work like a back pack, but not too bulky and be able to store all what I carry in travelling to carry. Found an ideal one here!

Best backpack ever

I’ve been wanting to get the manhattan and finally did it. I got the black togo leather and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Roomy on the inside and lots of compartments for storage. 10/10 recommend.

Gorgeous and sturdy!

First of all, opening this bag was an experience. The backpack came in a canvas bag that I will definitely be keeping.

The backpack itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is sleek and modern and it smells divine! There are two magnets on the back to secure the straps. Should you decide to carry it with the handles. The bottom of the bag is padded as is the computer sleeve. And let’s face it, it just looks freaking cool!

The Manhattan Review

The bag is even more beautiful in person. The pictures can't give justice to this espresso-colored Manhattan. This is well worth its price. I definitely wound want to get my hands on a Memphis next 😅

Great Minimalistic Backpack

I am always looking for a functional yet minimalistic backpack for work. Criteria: looks professional, functional, able to carry work laptop that is quite hefty…the Manhattan meets of all this and leather quality is great! Photo taken from office (not the best quality/aesthetically pleasing photo but it’s real).

Beautiful and high quality bag

I did a lot of research at this price point and am genuinely blown away at how nice this bag is. It smells amazing, it’s tough and soft, it’s smart and has many compartments. It’s super high quality stitching. I’d highly recommend paying the extra dollars for a nicer bag.

This backpack is perfect in every way. Design, construction, quality, fit, and feel - all unmatched compared to any backpack I’ve ever owned. My go-to pack for daily use and travel. Bravo, Andar team.

Perfect, fantastic, highest quality leather backpack of life.

It's a Manhattan backpack.

I wandered around the Internet for three months to find the leather bag I wanted. There were dozens of leather bags in the sea of information. As you know, it's hard to find a bag with high quality leather and details. Actually, I didn't think of the Andar bag even when I was using the Andar leather iPhone case. I'm a fool who didn't think of Andar even in front of me. I was thrilled to see the Manhattan backpack in Andar. The Manhattan backpack is perfect for what I think is the best leather, tough-looking design, and storage capacity. I waited for the time for the bag to cross the Pacific Ocean to receive the backpack. It took two weeks. As soon as I received it, I applied leather cream to make the leather look cool. I felt really happy the whole time I put on the leather cream. I hope you have the luck to feel this luxurious leather bag. It's only $300! I love you, Andar!

Thank you so much for the review! We are so happy that you received your Manhattan. Customs can be really hard to deal with but it certainly looks like it was worth the wait. There are so many features we cant wait for you to try out! If you have any questions or concerns with your products, please feel free to reach out!

Very high execution and visibly good quality of leather. Have gotten several compliments in the first few times of wearing it.

Absolutely Stunning

I ordered The Manhattan, The Memphis, and The Chase in CAMEL TAN, and they are all absolutely stunning. The packaging was perfect and the shipping time was quick. These are "Buy It For Life" items, and I promise you won't be disappointed with any of Andar's products.

The perfect work bag

Perfect work bag while also looking stylish. Only wish it had a pocket on the side to hold a water bottle. Other than that, it has great pockets inside to keep things organized.

Everything I wanted

All I wanted was a coated canvas backpack with a slip pocket or some sort of straps that stayed on my roll aboard.
This backpack somehow does both and fits an absurd amount of straight stuff
