Digital Product Passport for Luxury Leather Goods and Accessories

Bags, belts and leather accessories are among the most counterfeited products in the world. MyLime’s DPP certifies the tannery, the craftsman and the supply chain — protecting the brand, the consumer and Made in Italy. Leather goods are not among the priorities of the 2025–2030 ESPR Working Plan: today the DPP is voluntary, and it is the fastest way to make craftsmanship verifiable.

Handcrafted leather bag with NFC tag for a Digital Product Passport and Made in Italy traceability

Regulatory framework

Voluntary DPP · REACH, CITES, EUDR

Leather goods are not among the priority product groups of the 2025–2030 ESPR Working Plan: there is currently no DPP deadline. What already applies is REACH, for tanning chemicals, and CITES, for exotic and protected-species skins; the obligations of the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR), which covers bovine hides, are on the way.

No ESPR delegated act planned in the 2025–2030 Working Plan
REACH · tanning chemicals
CITES · exotic skins and protected species
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 (EUDR) · deforestation-free bovine hides

Why act now

The only way to prove craftsmanship is to record it

Without a DPP, craftsmanship quality is a marketing promise. With a DPP it’s a verifiable fact: the tannery, the cut, the stitching, the pattern, the artisan. Luxury consumers pay a premium price because they can see and validate every step.

Use cases

What MyLime does for your industry

Six concrete applications of the Digital Product Passport, already live on brands in the industry.

Patented tear-resistant NFC tag

Built into stitching, lining or hardware. Removal leaves a visible trace and certifies any tampering attempt.
Tanning traceability

Tannery of origin, LWG certifications, tanning process (vegetable, chrome, metal-free) recorded immutably.
Artisan profile

The customer knows who stitched the bag: name, atelier, techniques. The unique piece becomes narratively unique.
Warranty and repairs

Repairs, restorations and maintenance are recorded in the DPP. The care history increases residual value.
Tracked secondary market

Every ownership transfer is certified. Brands monetise resale, recovering margin and data.
Contextual customer service

Claiming the product opens a direct channel: leather care, restoration bookings, VIP programmes.

Industry FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the NFC tag work through thick leather?

Yes. MyLime tags are sized to read through leather up to 3.5 mm thick. For multiple linings we use specific tags tested with the tannery.

Can I integrate the DPP into my Made in Italy traceability system?

Yes. MyLime exposes APIs and webhooks to connect the DPP to certification systems such as ICEA or to consortium platforms, avoiding double reporting.

How do you handle supply-chain confidentiality?

The DPP’s public data is limited to what is needed for compliance and for the consumer. Confidential supply-chain data (prices, secondary suppliers) stays in the brand’s back office.
