UpperBags was born in the bustling streets of New York City — in the moment our founder, a tired new dad on a packed subway, watched his wife juggle a crying baby, a stroller, and a sagging diaper bag. There had to be a better way.
We launched in 2018 with a simple belief: parenting is hard, but your bag shouldn’t make it harder. It should lighten your load — literally and emotionally. So we set out to redesign the diaper bag based on what real parents asked for: more function, less stress, and a style anyone would be proud to carry.
We still exist to empower modern parents — to help you feel lighter, live easier, and get back to what matters most. But now, we’re also driven by purpose: to help families living out a calling greater than themselves.
We may not be able to clear plastic from the ocean, or stop deforestation. But we can start by supporting one family on the front lines — one bag at a time.
With every UpperBag sold, we give back. We now dedicate 10% of profits annually to families in real, physical need— covering basics like housing, food, and living expenses for their children — so they can focus on their mission without the fear of daily survival. In some seasons, we’ll give up to 50% to help launch families who are just starting out in faith and need a boost to get going.
You don’t have to be called to the field to be part of this mission. Whether you carry the bag, gift it at a baby shower, or just share our story — you’re helping fuel a bigger purpose.
Because every dollar counts. And every act of kindness gives someone the courage to keep going.
Housing and groceries for families overseas
Living expenses for young kids
Relief from the pressure of raising support
Encouragement that they’re not alone
These aren’t random donations. They’re real stories. Real kids. Real missions. And your support becomes something they can touch, feel, and count on daily.
We believe shopping can be sacred. That doing good doesn’t require doing everything — just doingsomething, faithfully.
This is more than a bag. It’s freedom. It’s support. It’s one family at a time — lifted, encouraged, and sustained.
("Their faith is simple. Their impact is already being felt — even in small moments")
Thank you for being part of this journey. Even if missions isn’t your personal calling, your purchase becomes part of theirs.
