“We will be introducing the products into our e-tail and retail account base and acting as a service improvement for the UK market by holding local stock whereas the brand has only been sold directly from the US in the past. We are delighted to have been chosen to represent MP in the UK.”
Manhattan Portage’s portfolio boasts 400 designs including the Expandable Messenger Bag, the Reflective Bike Messenger Bag, and the One Shouldered Backpack.
Jerome Michaux, international sales manager at Portage World Wide said: “We are excited to start working with Simms International which over the years has developed deep expertise and industry knowledge in distributing portage, computer and lifestyle solutions to UK consumers.
“By adding Manhattan Portage to its existing portfolio, Simms is now offering the most comprehensive choice of computer bags, lifestyle and IT accessories in the UK.”
