A Suitcase That Opens Standing Up…and opens from the middle.
The opening 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.

“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.
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
Flip open the two clasps at the equator while the case stands upright.
- 3
Lift the top shell and flip it open.
Organized from the start
Packing made simple.
Upright rolls and packing cubes keep outfits and essentials grouped, visible, and easy to move between the two halves. Open Uprijt and find what you need without unpacking everything else.

Zipper sits beside the wheels — your hand passes through whatever they rolled through

Every other suitcase
Laid flat on contaminated floors every time you need something
Uprijt

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 opening sits well 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.
