Where can I buy your bags?

Firstly, the best place to buy our bags is right here on our website. We are also stocked in a number of stores across the UK, Japan, USA, and South Korea. Give us a shout if there are particular locations you would like to know about? support@herdbags.com

What are your bags made from?

Each of our bags is made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles.  There are about 16 plastic water bottles in a medium sized tote.  These plastic bottles are pelletised and made into a woven pp ready for printing and stitching. And through our ocean clearance programme for every bag sold another 86 plastic bottles (1kg) is taken out of the worlds seas and waterways.

Where are your products made?

The majority of our bags are currently made in China in a
factory in Wenzhou that meets BSCI standards and has a Sedex Members Ethical
Audit (SMETA) certificate.

 

The pouches that are repurposed from faulty bag remnants are
made at a workshop in East London.

 

Our coffee cups are made in the UK from commercial waste
streams.

How can I recycle your bags?

Herd bags are used by our customers for shopping, travel and adventures. They are designed to be hard wearing but they aren't for life. When your Herd bag reaches the end of its life we would like you to return the bag to us, at our expense, so that we can separate the cotton, zips and woven polypropylene and recycle it.

Please email support@herdbags.com so we can organise postage to retrieve your Herd bag and accept 50% off your next order with Herd for using this service.  

Are there other designs?

The full collection is now a rotation of ten bag designs, three pouch designs and a coffee cup!  We will slowly introduce other designs to the collection and also adapt existing designs into different formats. At the forefront of our minds in manufacturing is waste, we don't wish to get into a cycle of seasons or quarterly launches just because, we would much rather manufacture great designs that stand the test of time and retail them until they are gone.  

What packaging materials do you use?

Your bag will be folded and secured with a cardboard strap
and will be shipped in a paper envelope. 
Both are recycled paper from FSC certified sources.
