At NEER, we are all about honesty, purpose, and durability, and that goes for our materials too. We choose them with care, favouring natural origins and keeping chemicals to a minimum.

Leather

Our hides are responsibly sourced from European farms where cattle are raised for dairy and meat, ensuring the highest standards of care and animal welfare. 

Tanned in ‘GOLD’-certified tanneries by the Leather Working Group (LWG), these leathers meet the strictest environmental standards, with full traceability, water recycling, and energy-saving practices. 

Chosen for their natural charm, gentle texture, and enduring quality, these hides are treated with gentle vegetable extracts. Overtime, this leather will age gracefully, with each mark adding character to your bag.

Organic Cotton

Our bags are lined with durable organic cotton drill fabric, woven in a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified mill—the gold standard for sustainable textiles crafted from organic and natural fibres.

Organic cotton is grown the natural way, without any harsh chemicals or genetically modified seeds, making it a planet friendly choice. 

Most of its watering comes from refreshing rainwater, saving thousands of gallons compared to conventional cotton, which usually needs heavy irrigation and depletes the soil with lots of pesticides.

By using fewer pesticides, we’re creating a happier, healthier environment for workers, cleaner water and food for local communities, and long lasting, thriving land.

Clear Recycled TPU

Every one of our bags features a handy clear compartment, either on the inside or the outside, so you can easily spot your belongings and always know where your essentials are.

We made this possible by using clear Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Wanting to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels while keeping this unique and practical feature, we extensively researched and discovered the perfect material—recycled and recyclable clear TPU from a Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified factory. The GRS certification is a trusted third-party standard that confirms the percentage of recycled materials in a product and ensures the traceability of those materials.

At this facility, industrial plastic waste is carefully sorted to eliminate impurities, then shredded into flakes, melted down, and transformed into a strong, durable, and elegantly grey-tinted TPU that is not only recycled, recyclable but also touch sensitive, embodying our dedication to both practicality and environmental responsibility.

Packaging

    We use undyed cotton twill dust bags to protect our products. True to our brand's purposeful spirit, these bags are designed for reuse—perfect for shopping trips or storing your priced possessions.

  • Boxes

    Our boxes are made from recycled, recyclable paper, and printed with eco-friendly, water-soluble inks that are kind to the planet and safe for landfills.

  • Tissue Paper

    We wrap our bags in soft, FSC-certified tissue paper to keep them safe and snug on their way—meeting the gold standard for responsible wood sourcing.
