About URBAN BAG
We are a young brand focused on the production of bags, backpacks and natural leather accessories. The design results from the unique and distinct energy of urban life, with functional accents, which can adapt to the continuously changing expectations of metropolitan life. We use only natural materials, such as canvas and raw natural leather, to give our products an old-school, vintage and classic look, which makes them extremely versatile and visible.

Sustainability
We deliver orders on the same day and free of charge by bike courier in Bucharest;
We launched the MAROCHINERO repair service for natural leather items;
Some of the URBAN BAG products are handmade in Romania by people in financial difficulties. This way, we try to bring back hope and help reintegrate people living in poor communities. The purpose of the foundation we collaborate with is to help people escape from poverty by developing their skills and potential, restoring their dignity and reintegrating them to support their families.
If at the time launching of the URBAN BAG brand in 2016, the entire production took place in factories outside the country, in 2022 we have reached a percentage of approximately 50% of products manufactured in Romania and keep counting. One of our long-term goals is to move production locally entirely.
