Ten years ago Omar Munie was one of the first premium accessories brands to commit to sustainability and ethical design & manufacturing. Omar Munie believes that every bag should last a lifetime to allow for the long life and optimal use and reuse of its products. Minimal waste is key to our production. The bags are handcrafted in the Netherlands and in Istanbul at a local small family-owned manufacturer. Among others, Omar Munie uses carefully sourced premium quality leather. The brand works with recycled and 100% vegan leather.

Omar Munie as a brand associates itself with various NGOs such as the OECD, Plastic Soup Foundation, Red Cross, Refugee Foundation and the UNHCR to address and integrate environmental and social themes in its products and services. For example, Omar Munie introduced the Blue Sea Bag made from recycled fishing nets from the Sea and the Embracelet made of life vests from refugees with the key message of embracing diversity.

Unlike many retailers and brands, Omar Munie faced limited supply chain implications caused by the COVID-19 outbreak which shows the strength of its craftsmanship and collaboration with its partner- atelier in Istanbul. Omar Munie’s timeless goods are less exposed to seasonal stock problems and can be repurposed later in the year.
