For us, design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how it’s made and the impact it leaves behind. We’re proving that travel gear can be bold, stylish, and sustainable all at once. Our NYFW debut is just the beginning of this journey."
With its NYFW debut, uppercase is breaking away from the traditional, muted aesthetics of the luggage industry and introducing a fresh, fashion-forward approach. The brand has been leading the charge in making travel gear not just functional, but also an extension of personal style.
