Responsible Manufacturing, Sustainable Partnership
We believe great leather goods shouldn’t cost the earth. Our commitment to sustainability is real and proven. It starts with our in-house, LWG Gold-Certified finishing factory (ProPelli). It continues in our BSCI and SMETA-audited production factories. And it’s proven by our GRS-Certified recycled materials.
When you choose Hoplok, you choose a partner who protects your brand’s reputation and our shared future.
Our Commitment to People, Planet, and Product
For us, sustainability isn’t just one thing. It’s a full 360° commitment that we’ve built into our entire business. We build this promise on three main pillars: the materials we use, the people we support, and the way we work.
Branding Files
Your logo is important! Please provide it in a vector format if possible. Good formats are: .AI, .PSD, .EPS, .SVG, or .PDF. This helps us make sure your logo looks sharp on the final product.
Designs or Ideas
Do you have a technical drawing (tech pack)? Great! If not, no problem. Just send us clear pictures from different angles, sketches, or even photos of similar products you like. The more visual info, the better.
Artwork Files
If your design includes special prints, embroidery patterns, or custom hardware shapes, please provide these as vector files too. Make sure to include the dimensions (size).
Vertical Integration: Our LWG Gold-Certified ProPelli Facility
A great product starts with the material. While many manufacturers simply buy finished leather, we believe in controlling quality at the source. That’s why we invested in our own self-owned finishing facility, ProPelli, in Cambodia.
We are incredibly proud that ProPelli has achieved an LWG Gold Certification. This is the highest possible rating awarded by the Leather Working Group for environmental excellence. This isn’t just a certificate; it’s a core part of our supply chain that gives your brand a direct advantage.
What LWG Gold Means for You:
- Guaranteed Responsibility: You have proof that your leather is processed in a facility that meets the world’s top standards for energy use, water treatment, and chemical management.
- Total Quality Control: We control the feel and finish of your leather from the very first step. This ensures perfect consistency for your brand.
- Better Cost & Supply: By owning the factory, we cut out middlemen. This gives you better pricing and a more stable supply chain for your core materials.
- Exclusive Custom Finishes: Our in-house experts can create unique finishes just for you, like vintage washes, pull-up, and Crazy Horse leather.
Materials for a Conscious Brand
Sustainability means having choices. Your brand needs a partner who can provide a full range of responsible materials. Beyond our in-house capabilities, we have a complete portfolio of sustainable options. This allows you to meet your design goals, price points, and environmental values without compromise.
LWG-Certified Leathers
This is our preferred choice. We primarily source our leathers from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG). This is your guarantee that the material comes from a facility that manages its energy, water, and waste responsibly.
GRS-Certified Recycled Materials
We are proud that our Hop Lok (Cambodia) factory is certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). This means we are fully audited and approved to manufacture high-quality products using certified recycled leathers and fabrics, helping to reduce waste.
Premium Vegan Leathers
For brands seeking an animal-free alternative, we source a wide range of high-quality PU and other vegan leathers. These modern materials offer amazing consistency, durability, and a huge variety of colors and textures, allowing for creative freedom.
Other Eco-Friendly Materials
A product’s footprint includes everything. We can also source other sustainable materials for your project, such as organic cotton, BAMBOO, or recycled polyester (rPET) linings, water-based glues, and 100% recycled packaging.
Beyond Audits: The Science of Safety & Compliance
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment. It’s also about ensuring products are 100% safe for your customers. We don’t just hope our materials are compliant; we prove it. This is a level of assurance that most competitors cannot offer.
Verifying Chemical Safety in Our Lab
Our in-house physical testing lab is our secret weapon. It allows us to scientifically verify that our materials meet the world’s strictest chemical safety standards. We give you the data to back up your brand’s quality claims.
We regularly test our products to ensure they comply with:
- REACH (Europe): We test to ensure our products are free from harmful substances restricted in the European Union.
- CPSIA (USA): We conduct tests to ensure our products, especially items for children, meet US Consumer Product Safety standards.
- Prop 65 (California): We help you navigate California’s strict labeling laws by testing materials for listed chemicals.
This scientific approach protects your brand, reduces your risk, and ensures your customers receive a product that is not only sustainable but completely safe.
Globally Recognized, Fully Compliant
Our promises of quality, social responsibility, and environmental care are not just words. They are verified by the world’s leading independent auditors. When you partner with Hoplok, you partner with a manufacturer that meets the highest global standards, making it easy to sell your products in any market.
