Yes, Nordweg products are made with genuine bovine leather of the highest quality. Here are some important details about the leather we use:

At Nordweg, we use full grain leather, which is the outermost and most durable layer of animal skin. This type of leather is highly resistant to scratches and maintains a beautiful appearance, with an ideal shine and a soft, natural feel. We have refined this leather over more than a decade to ensure its durability and resistance, while preserving its natural characteristics. With a little care, your Nordweg will look like new even after long use.

All our supplier tanneries are LWG Gold Certified, which is the highest level of international certification from the Leather Working Group (LWG). This certification monitors the environmental performance of tanneries around the world, guaranteeing high quality and sustainable practices.

In addition, our suppliers comply with the REACH Standard, a strict European regulation that restricts the use of chemicals that are harmful to health and the environment. It is important to note that the leather used is a by-product of the food industry, and no animal is slaughtered solely to obtain the hides.

Many leathers used by brands with less focus on quality start with low-quality raw materials. These leathers are sanded, treated and covered with a thick layer of paint, which completely removes the naturalness and beauty of the leather, giving it a vinyl and brittle appearance. In many cases, these cheaper products are given an artificial print that simulates the pores of the skin to make the material look like real leather again.

At Nordweg, we prioritize quality at every stage of the process. The full grain leather we use retains its natural characteristics, providing not only durability, but also a unique and authentic beauty that stands out.
