NORDLICHT made in Hamburg. Together we process natural and sustainable materials such as canvas made of 100% organic cotton and vegetable tanned leather of the highest quality. The owners of the leather manufactory in Hamburg have more than three decades of experience in textile and leather processing. This experience is a great foundation for working together on our new designs. This is an important aspect, because whether a product really lasts a long time and is easy to repair is significantly influenced during development. Our Hamburg manufactory is as convinced of our sustainable mission as we are.

In the middle of Tuscany, not far from the city of Florence, our Italian production partner has its leather manufacturer, which has been producing since the early 1980s. Thanks to the many years of experience of our partner, we can guarantee the highest quality standards and fair working conditions both in the procurement of materials and in the processing of the products. We use canvas made of 100% organic cotton and vegetable tanned Italian leather of the highest quality. There are also great material suppliers in Tuscany, which is a clear location advantage. We are pleased to combine all the advantages and know-how of our great manufactories.

As with many other fair labels, a small part of our bags are made by our carefully selected partners in Guangzhou and Guangxi in southern China. Although still a difficult country in political matters, we are seeing rapid changes in social issues and environmental regulations. We want to contribute to the positive development by guaranteeing our partner far above-average prices. In return, we demand fair wages and permanent employment of the employees and, of course, the highest quality of material. Through regular audits, we can guarantee both.
For our bags & backpacks we use GOTS certified canvas made of 100% organic cotton and vegetable tanned leather from Italy. The natural leather supplier has a LWG Gold certification and thus meets the highest ecological standards.
