HYER GOODS

United States

HYER GOODS is a US brand that makes leather handbags, wallets and knit accessories. Its range includes crescent ring bags, shoulder bags, a laptop tote and compact card holders. The pieces are aimed at people who want long-lasting accessories and care about how they are made. The brand does not order new leather. It buys surplus, high-grade leather left over at the Italian tanneries that supply luxury houses. Small family-run factories in Italy then make the bags in limited runs, and the size of each collection depends on how much material is available. Because the leather is sourced close to where it is made, the brand says it cuts down on transport. Good On You rates HYER GOODS Good overall. It scores Great for planet, citing a high share of upcycled materials, resale of secondhand items and work to reduce transport emissions. According to Good On You, every animal material the brand uses is recycled leftover stock from before it reached consumers. It also says there is no evidence that workers are paid living wages.

Elvis & Kresse

United Kingdom

Elvis & Kresse is a UK brand that makes bags, belts, wallets, travel goods and other accessories from reclaimed materials. Its main materials are decommissioned London fire-hoses and rescued leather. The range includes crossbody bags, totes, backpacks, briefcases and wash bags for women and men. The brand is built on three pillars: rescue, transform and donate. It gives 50 percent of its profits to charity, including the Fire Fighters Charity. In 2021 it moved its operations to a farm in Kent to work regeneratively. There it built a straw bale workshop powered by renewables, created a wetland system to treat its own wastewater and is setting up a vineyard that prioritises soil and biodiversity. Elvis & Kresse is a certified B Corp. Good On You rates it Great overall, with Great for planet and people and Good for animals. The rating notes that pieces are made in-house by a small team and that final-stage workers are paid a living wage. It also says the leather and any other animal materials the brand uses are recycled before ever reaching consumers.

Anekdot

Germany

Anekdot is a Berlin upcycling brand that makes lingerie, swimwear, loungewear and accessories in limited editions. Its designs mix a nostalgic feel with everyday comfort. The brand reuses high-quality fabrics that have never been worn, such as surplus stock, end-of-line goods, offcuts and materials with minor flaws. Most of these come from an Italian supplier certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and holding GRS certification. Smaller amounts come from local designers, Italian deadstock and vintage markets. Patterns are cut by hand so the team can work around defects. Pieces are made in the brand's own Berlin atelier and at a small, women-led workshop in Poland. Good On You rates Anekdot Great overall, with Great scores for both planet and people. It notes that the brand limits production runs, avoids plastic packaging, partners with women-owned businesses and pays a living wage in final production. Animals is not rated because the products are generally free of animal-derived materials.

Retykle

Multi-brand secondhand retailer selling "Good" and "Great" brands:

Retykle is a resale platform for children's items, founded in Hong Kong. It sells pre-owned and new designer kidswear, maternity wear, shoes, toys and gear from more than 2,500 brands, at 50 to 90% below original prices. It runs RETYKLE.COM and a Singapore site, RETYKLE.SG. Parents can send in clothes their children have outgrown and receive cash or credit, and Retykle handles the reselling. Its founder, Sarah Garner, wanted an efficient way to keep children's fashion, gear and toys in use, since kids outgrow things quickly. The company says its long-term goal is a fully circular system that ends the waste created as children grow out of their belongings. Its team also works with brands and charities so that outgrown and past-season items do not go to waste.
