What is a U-GO Bag?

One-handed, with freedom. The story behind U-GO.

Our Vision

For over 20 years, we have been supporting people with disabilities.
We learned that many of the people we met found their everyday bags inconvenient, so we decided to develop products to improve this.

Regular bags are inconvenient for many people, such as those with hemiplegia after a stroke or those with limb contractures.
That's why we have developed a universal design bag that is easy for anyone to use.

U-GO bags are designed with the concept of universal design, making them easy to use for seniors and those with hemiplegia, and they are also popular as gifts.

Please experience the comfort of the U-GO series, which allows all operations to be performed with one hand.

"U-GO smart Pro": The culmination of our single-shoulder bag design

  • Custom-designed swivel fitting

    The main unit can be stabilized in the optimal open/closed position and hung by a belt.

    By limiting the rotation angle, twisting is prevented, and the unit does not spin around.

  • Conforming Shape

    The body-hugging shape further stabilizes one-handed opening and closing.

  • Strong non-slip back

    The high anti-slip effect allows it to maintain the optimal position for opening and closing.

Customer Testimonials

  • Saitama Prefecture, Male, 70s

    My daughter gave this to me last year for Respect for the Aged Day.

    As I get older, I've had more difficulty opening bags, so U-GO's one-touch opening bag has been incredibly useful.

  • Female, 50s, Saitama Prefecture

    I bought this bag on a friend's recommendation.

    I have difficulty using my hands and feet due to after-effects of a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and I use a cane to get around. It used to be difficult for me to take out my wallet even for a small shopping trip, but that problem has been solved since I started using this bag.

  • Male, 40s, Gunma Prefecture

    I bought this as a gift for my father, who is rehabilitating after a stroke.

    My father had been a homebody ever since he got sick, but after buying him this bag, I saw him going to the park and convenience store, and I thought, "I'm so glad I gave him this gift."
