"The Rolls Royce of bags." JUDGE JULES
"UDG bags are the best bags I have ever used." CARL COX

"The Russian doll of record boxes - wicked!" - PETE TONG
Every once in a while, a product comes onto the market that makes heads turn and makes our lives all a little bit easier. In the early 1990s Michael Schmeitz was running one of Holland’s most successful record stores. As a buyer, he was disheartened by the lack of quality and range of luggage and record bags available. As the years went on and clubbing became a global phenomenon, Schmeitz noticed more and more customers were having to haul their vinyl worldwide. Due to delays and missing luggage, most wanted to take their sought-after promos on as hand-luggage - but not in some cumbersome metal LP flight case. And so to December 2000 and the birth of the finely tuned, highly durable and extremely stylish luggage company UDG – The perfect solution for anyone on the move.
Starting with the original UDG SoftBag®, UDG achieved a market leading position within the music industry in just under five years. Today the UDG range has grown to provide a wide range of products to suit the individual needs and demands of consumers all over the world with their 'Ultimate' and 'Creator' ranges.
UDG has developed into a brand so popular and with such head turning, stylish design values, that global brands such as Coca Cola, Pioneer, Heineken, Smirnoff, Guinness and Bacardi have all commissioned UDG to make customised bags for their various marketing campaigns. Certainly, with acclaim coming from the likes of The Klaxons, The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand (Paul Thomson) Fatboy Slim, BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac, MTV’s Xzibit, Grandmaster Flash, Tiga, Pete Tong, Miss Kitten, James Lavelle (U.N.K.L.E), Tim Westwood, Tiesto, Carl Cox and Paul Van Dyk, it is plain to see that UDG is a tried and tested brand.
"Every individual part, every design feature, and all the materials found on our products, from the fabric, zips, locks, buckles, tags, inner protective layers, wheels and handles are of the highest quality. We constantly strive to enhance our products to be ahead of the competition by improving our designs and listening to the suggestions and recommendations from our endorsees who represent some of the world’s finest recording and performance artists." Michael Schmeitz – Founder and CEO of UDG

Along with their 'Ultimate' range, comes the UDG ‘Creator’ series - "As our customers’ needs change, our response with new products becomes a key priority in product design and development". The features and range of the new ‘Creator’ series are completely unparalleled and provide products for a much wider community including backpacks, laptop bags, laptop shields and mobile phone cases. With UDG spending five years researching and developing merely the material for this new range, it is clear to see the lengths to which they have gone to ensure that you, the consumer, will once again have the quality of product you so richly deserve.
