Ethics & Sustainability

“Be faithful with the little and you will be given much.”

Likardia’s Approach to Sustainability

As a sister duo team, we stay grounded in our roots, values, and ethics. We're accountable to our customers, supporters, and each other. While our ambitions are bold, the principles below define our sustainable approach to date: 

Local Production & Ethical Craftsmanship

Each bag is designed and crafted in New Zealand through small-batch production runs. This allows us to ensure the highest quality control, support local Kiwi's working and minimise the carbon footprint linked to mass overseas manufacturing and shipping.

Personalisation with Purpose

Custom gold name prints add sentimental value, encouraging customers to cherish their bags longer and support a culture of meaningful, long-term ownership.

Durability & Thoughtful Design

Made from high-performance polyester known for strength and longevity, our bags feature premium details like gold snap magnets, concealed structural bases, and stud feet - designed to last and reduce waste from frequent replacements.

Water Resistance & Practicality

The fabric’s water-resistant properties enhance usability and extend the bag’s lifespan. While not yet internationally certified, our in-house tests demonstrate reliable protection, aligning with our goal to create practical, sustainable products.

Ethical Packaging

Our commitment to sustainability extends to packaging, using compostable courier bags, recycled tissue paper, and eco-friendly swing tags to minimise environmental impact and waste.
