Copy of CERTIFICATIONS

	GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS) The world's leading textile processing standard for the entire post-harvest process of fibres, this label was established in 2002 to guarantee when a textile is organic. It includes ecological and social criteria, and aims to define internationally recognized requirements for the entire textile production process, thereby providing credible assurances to the end consumer.

	MASTERS OF LINEN® An internationally recognised trademark, this label may be used solely upon biodegradable pure linen that is 100% made in Europe - from field to yarn to fabric - and with a minimal carbon footprint. Managed by the European Confederation of Linen and Hemp, the only European agro-industry organization in existence, linen that bears this mark guarantees the European provenance of the material and certifies that is has been produced with exceptional, age-old European skill and expertise. The production of such linen occurs sustainably, avoiding irrigation, GMO and unnecessary waste whilst adopting field retting techniques. This label further assures that the linen has been woven by a certified weaver and spinner whose work has been approved by a recognized regulatory body and has been audited regularly.

	BELGIAN LINEN™ Created in 1960 by the Belgian Linen™ Association, this mark is assigned exclusively to linen fabric that is made of natural EU-origin flax, has been woven in a historical Belgian weaving mill, and complies with extremely rigorous quality tests. This distinct mark is borne solely by linen that abides by high social and environmental standards, which is the very reason why such linen is universally considered to be the best in the world. At present, there are solely six linen weavers in the world that are authorized to utilise this highly recognized label.

	OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 This is an internationally recognized safety standard that was launched in Switzerland in 1992 with the objective of eliminating hazardous substances from textiles. The application of this standard means that fabric manufacturers voluntarily restrict toxic substances that may be found in their products, thereby certifying that such fabric is free from chemicals that are hazardous or potentially harmful to the human body.

	LEATHER FROM ITALY FULL CYCLE Guarantees that our tannery completes the entire production process – from the raw hide to the finished product – exclusively in Italy, in strict conformity with the European Standard UNI EN 16484.

	CARBON FOOTPRINT ISO/TS Measures the total greenhouse emissions generated during the life cycle of each leather product, and helps to discern which stage of production is responsible for most of the emissions.

	INTERNATIONAL EPD® SYSTEM Our leather supplier holds internationally recognised certificates that document the life-cycle environmental impact of its leather.

	DER BLAUE ENGEL Established in 1978 and the oldest eco-label for materials and services in the world, this label ensures all leather created does not release harmful compounds that are detrimental to the environment.
