Eco-designed in Annecy: our products are created to last for years and accompany you in all your adventures as parents, backpackers, photographers, cyclists, hard workers, students...
Recycled and/or eco-responsible materials: ultra-resistant 1000D 100% recycled nylon certified GRS (Global Recycling Standard) and Bluesign®. Water repellent PFC-free treatment. Eco-responsible leather GOLD certified tannery by LWR (Leather Working Group). All materials meet European REACH regulations.
Responsible manufacturing: we have been working for years with a Japanese partner in Vietnam, specializing in technical products (safety harnesses, paragliding wings and backpacks). They are ISO 9001 certified (quality), ISO 14001 certified (environmental management system) and WRAP (World Responsible Accredited Production) certification. This audit, carried out every year, is the largest environmental, professional and ethical certification program in the world.
"Less" polluting transport: the factory is located 80km from the seaport of Ho Chi Minh in southern Vietnam. We optimize the loadings in the containers as much as possible. The goods are then transported by boat to Fos-sur-Mer in the south of France. When we're not in a hurry, we take a barge up the Rhône river and the last km are done by truck to our warehouse in Annecy. Sometimes we bring in a few boxes by air, but this is exceptional.
Storage and preparation of orders with a logistician in Annecy.: plastic tape replaced by kraft tape. Cushioning in cardboard or recycled plastic. We are thinking about setting up reusable envelopes to send your order. But you will have to play the game and remember to return the cover (prepaid).
Sending your order is carbon neutral: through Colissimo or DPD.
Repair and second-hand sale: we work with repair centers in France and in Europe. All returns (that are not repaired and sent back to you) through customer service are repaired and then sold as second hands on our Instagram.
Recyclable: recycled nylon can be recycled over and over (and over) again. But if at some point your MeroMero bag is no longer usable (or reparable) don't throw it away, we will recycle it. Contact us and we'll explain what to do.

Cela fait deux semaines que mon sac sacoche Annecy sillonne sur mon vélo les routes de l’île d’Oléron et du Finistère: il est parfait! La taille est adaptée à une sortie à la journée, rapidement installé sur le vélo, aussi rapidement transformé en sac à dos, et en plus, il est très beau! Un produit que je recommande vivement. Bravo aux designers!
