LWG-Certified Leather Tanneries
The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an international organization dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of leather manufacturing. It brings together brands, suppliers, and manufacturers to promote responsible practices across the leather supply chain. Its audit protocol is the leading standard for assessing the environmental performance of leather manufacturers.
To become LWG-certified, tanneries must meet strict environmental standards, including responsible energy use, water management, and waste treatment. Certification is awarded in bronze, silver, or gold, based on the level of compliance and commitment to continuous improvement.
Based on performance, manufacturers are awarded medal ratings—Gold (85%+), Silver (75%+), or Bronze (65%+)—provided they meet minimum requirements in every scoring section.
LWG helps ensure that leather is produced with care—for people, the planet, and future generations.

Leather. Naturally Tanned Leather.
Our leather comes from the tanned rawhides of cows, goats and sheep – and is sourced as a by-product of the meat industry. The leather is naturally tanned to achieve the perfect balance of suppleness and strength. Due to its softness, leather is sensitive to damage.
For products with a reptile effect, we use cow leather that is embossed and printed to mimic exotic skins, offering a luxurious aesthetic and unique texture. This technique allows us to achieve a refined, high-end finish without using endangered species.
Chrome Free.
Chrome-free refers to the absence of chromium in the tanning process of leather. Traditionally, chromium salts are used in leather tanning to stabilise the material and make it more durable. However, chrome tanning causes negative environmental impacts, such as the pollution of water sources with its toxic chemicals.
We're committed to exploring chrome-free alternatives in our production process, aligning with our goal of minimising environmental impact and prioritising sustainability.
