Digital Product Passports for bags

Give every bag a passport that proves where its leather comes from, confirms it is the real thing, and carries care, repair and resale in one scan, in your brand’s own style. ESPR covers textiles from 2027; leather left EUDR in July 2026, wood and rubber did not.

A bags passport card

Your leather has an origin. Your bag has a name worth protecting.

Origin, documented

Leather left EUDR scope in July 2026, but customers and the Empowering Consumers Directive still ask where a hide came from. Trace collects origin and tannery data from your suppliers, tier by tier, so the claim on the passport has a document behind it.

Every bag verifiably yours

Each passport is a unique digital identity for one bag, so customers and resellers can check they’re holding the real thing.

One data set, every obligation

The supplier data you collect for due diligence becomes your passport data when your category’s EU rules land.

Leather origin and authenticity on a bag passport

From product data to scannable bag

What launching takes, in three steps.

01

Connect your data

Your ERP, PIM or PLM plugs in, or start from a spreadsheet. Trace collects what only your suppliers know, down to origin.

How Trace works →

02

Passports build themselves

Every SKU gets a standards-compliant passport in your brand’s design, with GS1 Digital Link QR codes.

How Passport Builder works →

03

Tag and go live

Codes go onto interior labels or hangtags, or embossed NFC for premium lines, through your existing labelling workflow, and every scan starts reporting back.

Bags passport questions, answered

Is leather still under EUDR?
No. The Commission removed cattle hides, skins and leather from EUDR scope with a delegated act on 13 July 2026, with publication in the Official Journal expected in September 2026. Wood and natural rubber remain in scope. For the origin data behind leather claims, Trace collects and structures the supplier and origin data anyway, geolocation, supplier declarations and certificates, tier by tier through your supply chain. Your compliance team files the due diligence statement; Trace makes sure the evidence behind it exists and is organised. The deadline for large and medium companies is 30 December 2026.
Are bags covered by the EU’s destruction ban?
Not currently: the ban’s initial scope covers apparel, clothing accessories like hats, belts and scarves, and footwear. Bags and leather goods sit outside it. But the separate disclosure obligation still applies, large companies must publicly report the unsold products they discard each year, and the EU can extend the ban to new categories by delegated act, so the honest read is: not banned yet, already visible.
What product data do I need before I can launch?
Less than you’d think to start: your product master data, model, materials, care instructions and origin, which usually lives in your ERP, PIM or a spreadsheet. Richer fields like supply-chain and sustainability evidence come after launch, collected from your suppliers through Trace, so you go live on what you have and deepen the passport over time.
How does the passport get onto the bag?
As a QR code on an interior label or hangtag, or an embossed NFC tag for premium lines. Codes follow GS1 Digital Link, and label printing runs through your existing workflow: Tappr’s in-plant printing works with NiceLabel and BarTender.
Can I run several brands from one account?
Yes. Tappr supports multi-brand setups with full white labelling: each brand keeps its own design and guidelines while your team manages everything in one place.
