“Ok, so you might not think it's a big deal, but when I need to open my suitcase, I do not like to have to lay down my suitcase and run my hands past the dirty wheels.”
Reza Jalili — Inventor, UPRIJT (say, “upright”)
I built it for you.
A Suitcase That Opens Standing Up
The zipper sits well above the wheels, so your hand never brushes the grime. And you can open it standing up — no laying it flat on a dirty floor every time you need one more thing.
Patent-pending · PCT filed worldwide
The problem
Suitcases haven't really changed in decades.
Introducing a new category of luggage.
How it is different
- 1
Roll it in — it stays on its wheels.
- 2
Unzip the clean, elevated equator closure while the case stands upright.
- 3
Lift the top shell and flip it open.

Who it's for
Built for the way people actually travel.
Frequent flyers who are done kneeling on airport carpet.
Anyone who's ever needed to unpack in a train aisle or a tiny hotel room.
Travellers with back pain, joint issues, or reduced mobility — for whom kneeling to the floor isn't a minor inconvenience.
Sizes & colors
Carry-on first. Seven finishes.
Choose the shell and handle color that fits you. You can change your mind before it ships — we'll email you when your Uprijt is ready.
Help finalize the design
One decision is still open. Pick what you'd rather travel with.
Equator zipper
The current reference design — a zipper at the equator.
Clasp closure
An optional variation — a secure clasp system instead of a zipper.

Ordering & payment
Generate a cash payment token at vaiu.app, then email the payment token to orders@uprijt.com. We'll confirm your reservation and lock in your discount.
Because we think a deposit deserves more than a silent webhook. Your payment is processed securely through Vaiu, which gives you a confirmation payment token proving the charge went through. Sending us that payment token, along with your colour choice, is your explicit order — in your own words, not an auto-generated line item. It takes thirty extra seconds, and in exchange you get a real paper trail: a record, in your own inbox, of exactly what you asked for and when. We'll confirm receipt within 24 hours.
If you do not already have a Vaiu.app account, please create one. While you can also use the service as a guest, having a real account will allow me to communicate your order status with you inside the Vaiu app. If you choose to use the payment app as a guest, that is fine. I will be in touch via email. Don't forget to email me your Vaiu cash token code.
Price, deposit & shipping
I'm still working out final manufacturing costs. I'll email you the exact price as soon as I know it, and you can cancel your order if the final price feels too high. Every preorder gets 30% off the first Uprijt and 50% off each additional one.
Yes. Your deposit is fully refundable at any time before your order is ready to ship. It simply reserves your place and discount today.
Shipping is free within the US. International rates for other regions will be calculated at checkout.
Yes. When preorders reach 1,000, everyone gets an additional 5% off their final price. When they reach 10,000, everyone gets an additional 10% off. These stack on top of your preorder discount.
The suitcase
No.
No. The equator zipper sits above the wheels — and the grime they roll through — so your fingers never run through the grime picked up from airport floors, curbs, or train platforms.
A mesh lining keeps the upper-half contents in place when you open and close the suitcase, so items do not fall out.
Carry-on first, with checked-size versions planned after.
Any way you want. I recommend rolling your clothes — it reduces wrinkles and lets you see everything at a glance. Marie Kondo fans know the drill.
Referrals & the 1-Year Challenge
After you generate your deposit payment token, you'll get a share link like uprijt.com/ref/YOUR-PAYMENT-TOKEN and a tracker at uprijt.com/track/YOUR-PAYMENT-TOKEN. You earn 1 point per visit, 3 per waitlist signup, and 10 per luggage reserved (so a quantity of 3 earns the referrer 30 points). All points are pending final orders — refunded deposits don't count. The leading product evangelist — the referrer with the most points during the 1-Year Challenge — gets their own order free, every person they referred gets an extra 10% off, and the leader also earns a $5 USD bonus per luggage delivered by June 2027. The winner will be announced and rewarded at the end of the challenge. Only evangelists who have preordered qualify.
