Let's close the circling loop

Our Recycling Program

At OLEADA, we believe in creating products that not only enhance your life but also care for our planet. Our Recycling Program offers you an easy way to give your used bags a new purpose.

Why Shouldn't I Toss My Bag into the Trashcan?

While used handbags can take up a lot of space, you should not toss the used bags in your curbside trashcan. The only proper way to recycle your bag is to send it back to the manufacturer for decomposition and recycle each component respectively. Recycling a bag might look easy but it is actually not. Some materials such as buckles, zippers, and metal hardware, are not decomposable in landfills. Without proper recycling, they can release harmful toxins into the environment.

What happens when I decide to join the Recycling Program?

We’ll send you a shipping label for the return (with free shipping for customers in the US, HK, SG, MY, PH, and TW). As a thank you, you’ll receive store credits worth 30% of your bag’s original value to use on future purchases. By participating, you’re helping us recycle and repurpose materials—your bag could even become part of our next new design!

Your story with the bag might have ended, but not ours...

We will transform the insights into product upgrades.

With an engineering approach, we constantly look for ways to improve our designs to make our bags smarter and more durable. Your used bags can tell stories. Our technicians will examine the condition of the recycled bag with a focus on wear and tear. This will provide valuable insights for us from actual use that might lead to meaningful improvements for our next product upgrade!

We will use the recycled materials on new products.

We use recycled leather from everywhere to develop new Re-scrap Leather styles, including our own. After recycling your bag, our technicians will identify the useful leather parts and group them with other deadstock and leftover leather scraps as the basic materials to make new Re-scrap Leather bags. So a part of your old bag might reappear in another OLEADA bag - how exciting!

We follow a comprehensive disposal protocol for non-recyclable elements.

There are, though, some elements of the used bags that might not be recyclable. We work with respectable waste management partners for the proper disposal and decomposition of these parts, making sure that the non-recyclable parts will have the least impact on our environment.

The Recycling Program is the final step to closing the loop of our circular economy. Through recycling, we pledge to do good while making sure you look good.
