Uphill Designs creates beautiful travel packs that use sustainable materials and manufacturing that respects the very nature the bags are made to travel within. The outdoor gear is designed to last a lifetime, with a waterproof waxed canvas outer, brass hardware details and beautiful leather straps.
Made in three different designs and sizes, the bags are customizable to any type of travel, whether it's to class, an urban day trip or a backpacking adventure. The Appalachian, Crest and Exploration are lines of messenger bags, day bags and travel packs, respectively.
The timeless designs are not only well-made and attractive, but also environmentally responsible, as a dollar of every purchase is dedicated to maintaining hiking trails in America's own backyard.
