Our Monthly Mission

1% FOR THE PEOPLE

We recognize that the health of our planet is inextricably linked to the health and well-being of the people living on it. That's why we've pledged to donate 1% of net sales on our site to support organizations which foster the physical and mental well being of people in need.  

OUR NEW FOREVER RECIPIENT:

CARBON NEUTRALITY

Everyday in the U.S. alone, e-commerce packages travel about the same distance as going to the moon and back ...133,000 times. Online shopping has transformed retail. Unfortunately, it’s also impacting the environment, and not for the better. Having an order conveniently delivered to your doorstep is a major contributor to climate change. HYER GOODS is now one of the few e-commerce brands to offset 100% of our carbon emissions from shipping. This achievement is the result of an effort to measure our global footprint in accordance with international certification standards, coupled with efforts to reach carbon neutrality. The full environmental impact of getting your favorite Better Leather goods delivered to your door is completely neutralized.
