Our Leather, Our Commitment
At Alazana, every bag we create is a statement of principles. We believe that true elegance is born from respect: for people, animals, and the planet. That’s why the leather we use comes from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), the world’s leading organization in sustainability within the leather industry.
What is the Leather Working Group?
The LWG is an international non-profit organization that sets rigorous standards to evaluate the environmental, social, and ethical performance of tanneries. Its auditing protocol covers key aspects such as:
- Efficient use of water and energy
- Proper management of waste and chemicals
- Full traceability of materials
- Fair and safe working conditions
- Deforestation prevention
- Reduction of carbon footprint
These demanding standards ensure that certified tanneries meet strict environmental, social, and traceability criteria.
The True Value of Your Choice
When you choose an Alazana bag, you're opting for a product that stands out not only for its design and quality but also for its commitment to sustainability and ethics. This means:
- Lower environmental impact: The leather is processed in facilities that reduce natural resource consumption and minimize waste.
- Total transparency: LWG traceability allows you to know the origin and journey of each hide, ensuring responsible practices throughout the value chain.
- Conscious durability: High-quality leather offers beauty and strength while reducing the need for constant replacement, supporting more sustainable consumption.
- Workplace well-being: Tanneries certified by LWG meet strict standards for safety and labor rights.
A Noble Material with a Responsible Origin
The leather we use comes from processes related to the food industry. We treat it with respect and care to transform it into pieces meant to last and become part of your story.
Elegance with Principles
LWG doesn’t just certify processes. It inspires improvement. It works with organizations like WWF to reduce the water impact of the industry, prevent deforestation, and promote a circular economy. It drives a cleaner, more humane, more conscious supply chain.
In the future, the objects around us won’t just reflect who we are, but what we choose to care for. We choose to care for the entire process.
Because sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s a way of doing things better.
And that —like an Alazana bag— never goes out of style.
