Our Story

Made by hand, for a reason.

Nyra started with one bag and a question we couldn't shake: why does carrying something well have to cost the earth?

Where it began

A kitchen-table idea

We grew up watching our grandmothers weave. Years later, working in textile sourcing, we kept seeing the same thing — mountains of plastic waste with nowhere to go, and bags built to be replaced, not kept.

Nyra is the answer we wanted: recycled plastic, woven by hand into something built to last a decade, not a season. Every bag we make is proof the two ideas aren't at odds.

Journey

How we got here

2019 — First stitch

A single woven tote, made on a kitchen table, from plastic waste we couldn't stop thinking about.

2021 — The workshop

We partnered with a small weaving workshop in India, trading scale for craft we could stand behind.

Today — Carried further

Thousands of bags later, still woven by hand, still made from what others threw away.

"We didn't want to build a brand. We wanted to build something worth keeping."

What we believe

Values we weave in

01

Honesty over marketing

We say what's true about our materials and our impact — nothing more, nothing dressed up.

02

Craft over speed

Every bag is hand-woven. We'd rather grow slowly than compromise the workshop that makes them.

03

Kept, not discarded

The most sustainable bag is one that lasts. We design for years of carry, not a season.
