Here’s a breakdown of the brand UPPER Bags — what they are, what people say (good & bad), and what to watch out for if you’re considering buying from them US.
What UPPER Bags Is
-
UPPER Bags is a U.S.-based brand specializing in stylish, functional bags aimed primarily at modern parents and professionals.
-
Their story: The founder states that when his wife got their first child, they found typical diaper bags bulky, unstylish, and impractical. So they created a bag that “my wife would love to carry every day and that I’d feel confident using for work and family outings.”
-
Their product line includes diaper-bags/backpacks (e.g., the “La Madison” series), fanny packs, changing pads and accessories. Many bags serve dual roles: parent-and-professional / travel.
-
They emphasize design features such as vegan leather, laptop compartments, insulated bottle pockets, wide opening tops, stroller hooks etc.
What They Offer / Key Features
-
High versatility: For example, their “La Madison” bag claims to serve as diaper bag + work-bag + travel bag.
-
Modern aesthetics: Bags designed to look sleek rather than “typical diaper bag” style — minimalist, neutral colors, professional friendly.
-
Functional organization: The site mentions “3‐zone organization” (feeding/soothing zone + tech/back pack zone + main storage) and features like laptop sleeve, bottle insulation, wide opening, self-standing base.
-
Customer policies: They claim things like “90-day hassle-free returns”, international shipping to select countries, and other service features.
What People Say (Strengths & Weaknesses)
Strengths:
-
Reviews highlight that the bags are stylish and don’t “look like a diaper bag”. (That’s repeatedly emphasized on the site and in user comments.)
-
Functionality is often praised: enough storage, the organization makes sense (parents say they appreciate the bottle pockets, insulated compartments, stroller hooks).
-
The brand seems to have a decent web presence, mention of being featured in parenting and lifestyle media.
Weaknesses / Things to Watch:
-
Some users say the size or dimensions are smaller than expected; space is good but may not match every parent’s “fully loaded” scenario. When buying internationally (outside U.S.), shipping cost, customs, return logistics could be complicated (as is with many U.S-based brands). The site states they ship “to select countries” for international shipping.
-
Because premium features are baked in (vegan leather, lots of pockets, laptop sleeve etc), the price is higher than typical budget diaper bags. You’ll want to weigh cost vs value for your region.
My Verdict & Who It’s Good For
Good fit if you:
-
Are a new parent (or parent/worker) looking for one bag that covers baby gear + work/travel + daily essentials.
-
Care about aesthetics (want a bag that looks fashionable, professional, not just “baby” gear).
-
Are comfortable ordering online and possibly dealing with international shipping if you’re outside U.S.
Be cautious / maybe less ideal if you:
-
Already have a local bag solution that meets your needs at lower cost and local service.
-
Need very local in-store support, or want cheaper budget only bag (i.e., baby gear only).
-
Are uncertain about shipping, returns, or duties from U.S. to want minimal risk.
