Our Brand

Who we are

We are uppercase, a design-first and environmentally sensitive brand of Travel Gear for the young with a taste for things that don’t just help them look or feel good, but also do good. We create fashion-forward products carried by them on their person such as backpacks, messenger bags, duffles, gym bags as well as travel bags.

uppercase has been brought to the world by a team with over 100 years of expertise and experience in Travel Gear.

Our Belief

We believe young citizens of the world care not just about looking good or feeling good, but doing good too!

They are builders of a better, brighter, happier world and we want to partner them.

Our Purpose

We exist to make the young feel attractive, while partnering them in keeping the world beautiful.

Our fashion-forward and environmentally sensitive travel gear don’t just help you flaunt your standout style, but also your care for the future of our planet.

Everything we design and manufacture has to exceed benchmarks in delivering on the three important pillars of our brand.

Standout Fashion

A backpack is a backpack. Right? Not really. While it would appear so when you see the sea of sameness in the luggage market, for us travel gear is fashion that you carry with you. They are fashion statements that define you and help you stand apart.

Data-driven Functionality

Our most potent R&D lab is data intelligence and the buying behaviour of our costumers. That allows us to design products with features that our customers want. Which means, features that you really need and no paying for features you don’t.

Sustainability

Each product we make is an expression of our concern for the planet. Not only are our products made from recycled plastic, our strict protocols in energy management or waste disposal and no use of hazardous chemicals help our products be GRS-certified.

Our Values

Originality

We are driven by the desire to create something new and exceptional. Something that wasn’t previously there and has enduring value.

Responsibility

To our people, to the community and to our planet

Value-Driven

We are for the restless young whose needs go well beyond their years. So, we create products that deliver a lot more than they pay for them. Both in terms of functionality as well as the emotional high of using the right products.

Progress

We believe the very essence of life is evolution. If you are not better today than you were yesterday, you are not in the game. A value we will bring to every product we design and make.
