The First Suitcase That Opens Standing Up
Patent-pending. No kneeling. No laying it flat on a dirty floor. And no running your hand past grimy wheels just to unzip it.
Patent-pending · PCT filed worldwide
The problem
Suitcases haven't really changed in a hundred years.
Every case forces you to the floor
Laying flat to unpack means pressing your clothes against airport-floor-contaminated surfaces.
Impossible in tight spaces
Trains, small hotel rooms, aisles: there is simply no room to lay a case down.
Not built for every body
Kneeling to unpack is painful — or impossible — for many travellers.
Your hand touches dirty wheels
Traditional zippers sit right beside the wheels. Uprijt's equator zipper stays clean and well above the mess.
How it works
Opens like a trunk. Packs at your waist.
- 1
Roll it in — stays on its wheels the whole time.
- 2
Unzip the equator — no need to retract the handle.
- 3
Lift the lid — like opening a trunk, not a book.
- 4
Pack and unpack at standing height. No floor, no kneeling.
- 5
Close it up — the equator zipper stays well above the wheel grime.
Why it's different
Every other suitcase vs. Uprijt.

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.

No.
No. The equator zipper sits well above the wheel zone, so your fingers never run through the grime picked up from airport floors, curbs, or train platforms.
