LWG certified leather: quality, safety, and design for your dog's accessories

When you choose an accessory for your dog, you're not just choosing a color or a shape. You're choosing something that will come into contact with their fur, skin, and daily life.

That's why, at Timotèo Milano, material selection is a fundamental part of the design process. We use LWG certified leather, chosen to create leather dog accessories that combine aesthetics, durability, and a greater focus on safety.

What does LWG certified leather mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group, an international organization that evaluates tanneries according to environmental, production, and responsibility criteria in leather processing.

LWG certification considers various aspects of production, including water and energy use, waste management, traceability, and chemical management. The LWG audit includes a section dedicated to Chemical Management, which means the control and management of chemicals used in leather processing.

Chemical product testing and increased safety

One of the most important aspects of LWG certified leather concerns the control of chemical substances. In the leather industry, RSL (Restricted Substances List) is often discussed: a list of substances restricted or prohibited in the finished product. LWG also distinguishes between RSL, referring to the final material, and MRSL, related to substances used during the production process.

This means that leather from LWG certified tanneries follows more controlled processes, with greater attention to reducing unwanted substances and ensuring the safety of the final material.

For a dog accessory, this is particularly important: collars, leashes, and harnesses are worn every day and are in direct contact with the fur and, in some places, the dog's skin.

A gentler choice even for sensitive skin

LWG certified leather, thanks to more careful controls over processes and substances used, is a suitable choice for those looking for quality, safe, and gentler leather accessories for dogs.

It's not just about aesthetics: choosing a controlled material helps reduce the risk of contact with unwanted substances and makes the accessory more suitable for dogs with sensitive skin.

This is why we can talk about leather designed to offer comfort, safety, and greater tolerability in contact with the animal.

The value of leather in Timotèo Milano products

Timotèo Milano accessories are born from the fusion of Italian craftsmanship, color, and contemporary design. Every collar, leash, and harness is designed to accompany the dog in daily life with elegance, functionality, and attention to well-being.

LWG certified leather allows us to create durable accessories that are pleasant to the touch and finely detailed, while maintaining a high level of attention to the quality of the raw material and product safety.

Leather dog accessories: beautiful, safe, durable

Choosing a leather accessory for your dog means investing in a product designed to last. With LWG certified leather, this choice becomes even more informed: not only design and color, but also attention to the supply chain, chemical product testing, and material safety.

Because a walk can be beautiful to see, comfortable to experience, and safer to wear.
