We are conscious and deliberate in our sourcing and manufacturing processes, seeking high-quality and durable materials with minimal impact on the environment, whilst creating items built to last and as such not depleting resources. This is why we use leather of the highest grade for each and every Neri Karra bag and accessory. Each hide that arrives in our factory is carefully scrutinised by our master craftspeople, whose eyes are trained to detect even the smallest of flaws, ensuring the quality of the leather used in our creations. 100% of our leather is a by-product of the food industry and sourced from gold rated, Leather Working Group tanneries ensuring full traceability of our hides.

Neri Karra bags and accessories are not made for trends and seasons, but as quality pieces designed to be used daily and to last a lifetime, respecting the resources used in their creation and the people who created them. Each piece is made from the highest quality Italian eather, cut and assembled with care and precision by our expert artisans. All of our metal accessories are meticulously hand polished and coated in palladium, a metal known for its lightness and durability. Finally, each piece is methodically inspected, ensuring that every detail is perfect before leaving our factory. To ensure the
longevity of your Neri Karra purchase, please refer to our care guide where you will find tips and advice on how to protect and maintain your pieces. We are incredibly proud of the quality of our bags
and accessories and so confident in their materials and construction that we offer free lifetime repairs to any Neri Karra item whether brought from us or a distributor, 2 years or decades ago.

To protect the integrity of our leather goods, each Neri Karra product is carefully wrapped and boxed before leaving us. We minimise the environmental impact of our packaging by selecting materials that are recyclable or biodegradable. We regularly conduct formal assessments of our packaging and have taken initiatives to reduce the amount of material we use, with plans to further reduce our customer and transit packaging, and to phase out plastic by 2030. Our shipping policy includes no air travel and requires shipment through the lowest impact methods available, in fact in recent years we have successfully reduced our ton-miles of distribution by up to 74%.

All of our leather goods are built on-site in our Istanbul factory where they are assembled by our expert artisans. As part of our commitment to responsible practices, we ensure that the operation of our site has minimal impact on the environment, at both a local and global level. The design and management of our facilities are energy efficient; monitoring our energy and water use, providing staff training on the topic, investing in energy-saving technologies and equipment, and setting targets to reduce our consumption. We are a zero waste site, operating a recycling programme for paper, composting and leather, and collaborating with suppliers so that waste is tracked throughout our supply chain.
