Leather goods quality, from material to finished sample.
Define the standard before production. Farhan Exports works through the leather, construction, hardware and finish with your buying team, alongside the testing required for your order.
Start with the components.
Finished leather is tested for chromium VI and azo dyes. An EU REACH declaration is available. Farhan Exports also regularly sends leather, lining and fittings to independent laboratories, including Bureau Veritas and SGS.
Share your brand’s restricted-substances list, destination requirements and any additional testing programme at the brief stage. The relevant material, test method and acceptance criteria should be clear.
Our sourcing includes OEKO-TEX-certified suppliers. Review the certificate covering the textile selected for your collection, alongside the leather and fitting reports.
Review the documentation registerExamine the product in use.
Use the intended contents and record measurable acceptance criteria. Bring all feedback into one marked reference.
- Shape & dimensions
- Check the silhouette, measurements, handle drop and strap adjustment against the brief.
- Construction & edges
- Inspect seam positions, corners, edge treatment, reinforcement and attachments. Look inside the lining as well as across the surface.
- Hardware & movement
- Open the zip, operate the clasp and test the strap. Check how the loaded sample handles and closes.
- Branding & packing
- Confirm logo artwork, placement, internal labels, protection, barcodes and carton marks.
Approve a version everyone can identify.
Record the approval
Identify the sample, materials, dimensions, hardware, branding and packaging you approve. List any decisions still outstanding.
Agree the inspection
Set the quality criteria, inspection requirements and any additional product tests before production begins.
Carry changes through
Record revisions in the shared specification and confirm substitutions before they enter the order.
Different records answer different questions.
SMETA assesses the manufacturing facility. Tannery certifications cover the named leather-manufacturing suppliers. Finished-leather reports and any additional product tests address the materials and goods in your order.
Send your quality manual and supplier checklist so the team can discuss the appropriate evidence for your collection.
