More Than Just a Bag

By choosing an UppyBag, you're supporting ethical fashion, zero-waste design, and the move toward a circular economy. This backpack isn't mass-produced—it’s a statement. A commitment. A wearable artwork that shows the world you care.

Please note: Due to the nature of our upcycled materials, the surface of your bag may develop small visible creases or fine surface cracks over time—especially on areas that fold or flex. This is completely normal and purely cosmetic—it won’t affect durability and no holes will form. These subtle surface changes are part of the charm of using repurposed industrial banners. They tell the story of a material that once lived a bold life in the public space—and now gets to do it all over again in a new, wearable form.

Every mark and shift is a reminder that you’re carrying something truly original, not mass-produced.
