Mero Mero Backpacks
Mero Mero Backpacks — Recycled, Versatile, Made in the French Alps
Mero Mero is a French outdoor brand founded in Annecy in 2016. The label builds backpacks that move with you from the city to the trail, from the daily commute to the weekend escape — without forcing you into one fixed format. Every Mero Mero backpack is built around recycled materials (PET bottles, recycled nylon), clever volume modulation, and a clean, useful design language. Member of 1% for the Planet.
Why choose a Mero Mero backpack?
- Recycled materials — outer fabrics from recycled PET and recycled nylon, no compromise on durability
- Adaptive volume — roll-top construction on the Squamish and Wanaka adjusts capacity from daily carry to weekend load
- Designed in the French Alps — Annecy-based, with a thoughtful, restrained aesthetic that works in the office and on the bike
- Built to last — repairable construction, long-term thinking, real warranty support
The models
The Squamish V3 is the brand's icon — a waterproof roll-top backpack that expands from city volume to weekend volume. The Annecy is the everyday carry option, with a format built for commuting, work and light travel. The Wanaka brings the roll-top format down to a 10–15 L daypack for shorter days. The Popoyo is the kids' option for families who want the same recycled-material approach for younger backs.
