Our Commitment to Sustainability

🌍 Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Latalia, we believe that fashion should never come at the expense of people or the planet. Our handbags are designed to be timeless, durable, and responsibly made, with sustainability integrated into every step of our process.

Ethical Materials

  • We use 100% Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified leather from Italian tanneries.

  • LWG certification ensures responsible chemical management, water use, and waste reduction, in line with EU REACH standards.

  • Our leather comes from hides that are by-products of the meat industry — no animals are raised for leather alone.

Responsible Production

  • Made in Italy: All Latalia handbags are crafted in carefully selected artisan workshops in Florence.

  • Fair working conditions: Our workshops comply with European labor standards and uphold human rights in line with ILO conventions.

  • On-demand production: We produce bags primarily after orders are placed, preventing overproduction and reducing waste.

Minimizing Waste

  • We do not run large seasonal collections; instead, we focus on timeless models that last for years.

  • Returned or sample bags are resold at our Sample Sale — never discarded.

Eco-Conscious Logistics

  • No air freight: All handbags are shipped by UPS road transport from Italy to Sweden, reducing emissions compared to air transport.

  • Short distance to partners: Our warehouse in KungĂ€lv, Sweden, is located just 77 km from Ellos Group’s warehouse, minimizing transport impact.

  • Customer deliveries are managed by DHL, ensuring fast and efficient service.

Packaging Goals

  • Current packaging includes recycled plastic polybags, paper, and cardboard boxes.

  • By 2026, we will eliminate virgin plastic packaging and move entirely to paper-based or recycled materials.

Long-Term Sustainability Goals

  • Maintain 100% LWG-certified leather sourcing.

  • Avoid air freight and keep short, low-impact transport routes.

  • Expand the use of more sustainable materials as new options become available.

  • Continue reducing our environmental footprint and supporting responsible European craftsmanship.

By choosing a Latalia bag, you invest in a piece that is built to last, responsibly produced, and part of a more sustainable fashion future.
