HYER GOODS

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.
