What Is LWG Certified Leather?
The Gold Standard in Responsible Luxury Craftsmanship
In the world of fine watch accessories, every detail matters. From the stitching of a watch roll to the structural integrity of a watch case, craftsmanship is inseparable from the quality of the materials used. At Old Fashioned Luxury, we create accessories meant to stand the test of time, and that responsibility begins long before a product reaches our atelier.
One of the most important steps in this journey is selecting the right leather, and that is why we craft our watch rolls, watch pouches, and watch cases exclusively using LWG Certified Leather.
What Does LWG Certified Leather Mean?
LWG, short for Leather Working Group, is the world’s leading certification for environmental responsibility and performance within the leather industry. A tannery can only be LWG certified after undergoing a rigorous audit assessing:
- Responsible water and energy usage
- Chemical management and safety
- Waste reduction systems
- Traceability of raw materials
- Worker welfare and ethical practices
In essence: LWG certification ensures that leather production meets the highest standards for quality, sustainability, and transparency.
There are multiple certification levels, ranging from Bronze to Silver to Gold. The higher the rating, the stricter the requirements and the better the guarantee of world-class leather quality and responsible production.
