HiSmart is the first-of-its-kind that merges fashion and technology, a bag that not         only changes according to your capacity needs and occasion, but also vastly simplifying the way you connect to people, places and things.  It’s not just stylish             and cool, but it makes our busy, urban lives more efficient and enjoyable. 

              After thousands of design drafts and dozens of different prototypes, we finally made HiSmart that is beautifully and minimally designed. It can transform    into two different styles and is made with canvas and handmade Italian leather.


The specially designed HiRemote syncs with the HiSmart app. The 2-in-1 customized chip inside the strap enables you to pin locations, find your HiSmart or phone, answer calls, listen to music,  record your voice, and take selfies in just seconds.HiSmart redefines the bag by making it do more functions than you thought possible.

Make your life simpler with our HiSmart app! It's specially designed to pair with the HiRemote so you're able to access your favorite apps in just seconds! 




Forget about jotting down the location of that one cafe you stumbled upon last week or trying to remember where you parked your car. With HiSmart you can just pin them. Your saved locations are in the app and cloud! It can be shared to social media with a status update.


The HiSmart alerts you of incoming calls so you can answer them with the push of a button on your HiRemote without ever taking out your phone. You can also choose to ignore the calls.



You certainly don't want to lose your bag or phone! If you forget your bag, your phone will alert you and map it to the last location if connection is lost. If you can't find your phone, you can push a button on the HiRemote and the phone alarm will sound loud enough for you to hear it!


Nothing beats listening to your favorite tunes or audio books on the commute. Now you can play, pause, skip and control the volume with one finger.


You just had a great idea.  Don’t worry about searching for that voice recorder app! Simply click the HiRemote and speak. Your files will be saved in the app and can be emailed.


No more struggling to push that camera button for group selfies. No more awkward selfie sticks! Simply click the HiRemote and the app can help you take photos. You can then find them in your gallery.



Design shouldn’t be just for looks. We tailored handmade high-quality materials and were meticulous with the details to create a bag that would meet the lifestyle of the modern explorer. For us, beauty isn’t enough.  We complete the package with function and design.


It’s a messenger bag.  It’s a backpack.  It’s both.  It takes less than a second to transform HiSmart from a long-strapped  messenger bag to a double-strapped backpack. It's versatile looks is perfect for any occasion whether it's to a party or the office.


12 POCKET ORGANIZER: Do you wish your bag had more compartments for all your belongings? With HiSmart’s 12 pockets you’ll have a place for everything—from  keys to notebooks to laptops.

WATERPROOF CANVAS: Rain or shine, this bag's got your tech devices and you covered.

NYLON: Durable and longlasting.

45 DEGREE SUPPORT: Strong enough to hold anything.

ITALIAN LEATHER STRAP: It's engraved number makes it easy to remember which length is ideal.

GERMAN FIDLOCK: Opens with a half twist and closes magnetically. It's as simple as that.


We’re all bag and backpack fanatics here at Lepow. We considered over 300 HiSmart designs during this journey because we strived to develop a bag that pushes the limits of functionality and technology. It was time, we felt, for a new era of bags to emerge! We’ve noticed that the wearable technologies that tried to change our habits never really took off. We therefore created a bag - something that is already part of our everyday lives - but added “smart” functions to it that conforms to our modern lives. We believe that we shouldn't need to adapt to technology, but technology should adapt to us. 

We worked hard to create this bag—from drafting  sketches, to sewing  prototypes, to  engineering the HiSmart controller. We’ve dedicated ourselves  to provide amazing features to make the life of the urban explorer more efficient and enjoyable.

Although we are bag fanatics, this is our first smart wearable project!

We truly want to make this a reality, but if we want HiSmart to be the ultimate wearable bag, we need your thoughts, comments, and support for this project. All the funding will go into creating and manufacturing the HiSmart.
Anything from a comment to monetary support means a lot to us. Our team is eager to back up your ideas to improve the HiSmart Pack and take it to our engineers and designers to deliver. And don’t forget to share with your social media networks.

WE WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL IN ONE WEEK TO LET YOU SELECT A COLOR :)

We want to sincerely thank you for all the support and hope you can support us just a little bit more by spreading the news of our Indiegogo launch through your social media. It would mean the world to us.

The bag is light at only 1.5 lbs! You won't have to carry any unnecessary weight with the HiSmart.

Why carry and pay for two things, when you can just use one! In the market, there are two chips that are sold separately into different devices. CSR1010 (Bluetooth music and hands free calling) and BLE (tracking, pin location, selfies, and voice record) have never been combined to one until now. HiSmart has combined the two chips together because we believe people should be able to access all of the functions possible without paying extra.

The CSR1010 works within a range of 66 feet and the BLE works within a range of 164 feet. The HiRemote has a battery of 150mAh that can last for 10 hours on a full charge!


The HiSmart Team consists of young entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, and marketers whose passion for technology and love for design brought them together to create the HiSmart. 

A LOT OF AMAZING PEOPLE HELP US MAKE IT HAPPEN! Thank you for our Director Peter, App designer Soya.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
