Each UPGRAPE accessory is born from a need: to create a product that is an expression of fashion and a sustainable and eco-friendly dynamic.
The world of accessories.
A world of accessories that have been assigned names evoking nature.

Just to mention a few that are part of our VEGUP collection: Linea Vegup Donna e Linea Vegup Uomo.
All of them are made with high percentage of vegetable biomass and cruelty-free material, with 100% cotton linings and with the edges dyed yellow with a natural water-based varnish, in order to comply with all sustainability standards.
But our sustainability is not only this; our sustainability starts from afar and from deeper dynamics.
From a territory in which the circle of our production chain opens and closes, and where the "made in Italy" is not an abstract and inflated concept but a concrete and demonstrable reality.
From a social ethic that guarantees our female workers, from Monday to Friday, 4 free afternoons during which they can take care of their families and their interests.
And that it is these workers who create the product with the skill and wisdom of their hands, gives the product its added value: that of human capital.
This is the UPGRAPE collection.
Shall we call it an expression of sustainable fashion? Or ethical fashion? Or even cruelty-free and ecofriendly fashion?
Whatever you want to call it, UPGRAPE is the brand that adopts the project of a better world because it was born from a responsible, ethical and sustainable choice.
