Over 15 years URBAN TOOL is market leader in close-fitting and casual bags and holsters to carry and hold mobile phones, tablets and other devices of our everyday life. “Already at the beginning 16 years ago we had the feeling that mobile phones and mobile electronic will become increasingly important, but the market was lacking practical and good looking solutions to carry them. So we developed a bag matching perfectly our requirements, unconventional though but functional and stylish.” so Sabrina Tanner, founding member of URBAN TOOL. The official start of the company and brand URBAN TOOL was then done by winning the BRANDNEW AWARD at the famous ISPO fair in Munich in the category accessories in June 2014. Prize was a booth at the ISPO Summer in Munich and so first international trading contacts were made. Throughout the years the company was able to establish a broad range of bags and holsters perfectly designed to carry handhelds during everyday life and collected numerous national and international awards thanks to unique and outstanding products and the company‘s economic performance. The company’s collection includes bags and holsters as well as backpacks and laptop bags. All styles are designed with multiple functions and wearing options. The company is not only developing its own designs but is also offering customized designs for business customers and individualized work wear. Since the start wearable design and wearable technology was of most interest for URBAN TOOL. The company always worked on solutions how to store and carry handheld devices; all these solutions are sourced by the vision that technology will become more emotional and wearable one day. Following this vision URBAN TOOL always invested in visionary concepts of wearable and emotional electronics, like bags and shirts with integrated interfaces or cuddle cushion phones. More than that the company developed and designed wearable products for several companies and research institutes, like the University of Bremen. The wearable industry and development is and will always be the core interest of URBAN TOOL since technology is developing and becoming more sophisticated. Designing the future of wearable communication and new concepts for wearable technology will be a high innovative segment in future. We believe that wearable technology will be highly innovative if not only collecting data but more questioning how is it applied to real life and how do our devices apply to this new possibilities.
