upbeads are handcrafted wooden phone chains made in Hamburg. They keep your phone hands-free while looking like a design accessory rather than a tech gadget.
Wood is lightweight, warm to the touch and comfortable to wear all day. Compared to metal or acrylic, wooden beads feel softer, lighter and more natural in everyday use.
upbeads are handmade in Hamburg, Germany. Each piece is carefully crafted by women working in home-based production, with great attention to detail. We don’t mass-produce — every upbeads chain is made by real people, not machines.
Our upbeads phone chains are available in five different lengths, each designed for a specific way of wearing your phone.
120 cm – our most popular length. Ideal for clothing sizes S–M, offering a comfortable, close-to-the-body crossbody fit for everyday use.
130 cm – recommended for clothing sizes L–XL, with a looser fit and more freedom of movement.
100 cm (Midi) – suitable for XS as a shorter crossbody, or worn as a necklace-style chain for other sizes.
60 cm (Shortie) – designed for wrist wear or attaching to bags; not intended for crossbody use.
22 cm (Mini) – bracelet-style length, perfect for keys or small bags.
