What make us different?

The Upper Bags – born from the heart of New York City and designed for the modern urban family. Being both a parent and a brand owner is a big responsibility, and through Upper Bags, we’ve had the privilege of listening closely to what working parents truly need to thrive in their daily routines. From those early morning drop-offs to juggling workdays and weekend outings, we’re here to make parenting in the city simpler, more organized, and undeniably stylish.

Upper Bags was founded by a family of four who wanted to create a solution that would truly support and uplift new parents through the hustle and challenges of city life. We needed a bag that would do it all – a high-performance, hyper-functional bag that understood our routine and adapted with us. Through a series of trials, designs, and feedback, we’ve crafted a bag that feels like a trusted partner – smart, convenient, and with zero compromises on style.

Our flagship, the La Madison Backpack, embodies everything we believe in. Made from premium vegan leather, it’s versatile enough to handle the morning drop-offs, the commute on the train, and the family outings in between. It’s a bag that helps you feel organized and in control, so you can focus on what matters most.

Our commitment doesn’t stop with functionality; it extends to creating a positive impact. We’re proud to be part of the conscious fashion movement, using vegan materials and recycled linings to ensure a better tomorrow for families and the planet.

And why "Upper Bags"? In the whirlwind of city life, parenting can sometimes feel overwhelming. We wanted our bags to be a source of positivity and an uplifting reminder that you’ve got this. With Upper Bags, you’ll feel ready, confident, and inspired to live each day with purpose and joy.

Upper Bags – the bag that gets your routine.
