What We Do

How LG Fashion Labs Supports Fashion Brands with a Digital Product Passport Solution

LG Fashion Labs offers an ongoing partnership that turns your scattered production data — tech packs, supplier lists, certificates, material specs — into a single, audit-ready Digital Product Passport for every style, verified at the source and structured to the EU's ESPR requirements from day one.

We work directly with your suppliers and mills to verify the data behind every claim, structure it against the ten domains of the LGFL DPP Data Framework, and build a serialised, ESPR-ready passport per style. Once live, each passport stays connected — to your consumers, your B2B buyers, regulatory authorities, and the EU DPP Registry — so your brand meets today's transparency expectations and tomorrow's mandatory requirements without rebuilding from scratch each season.

01Exploratory audit — under NDA, see your gaps before any commitment.
02Full collection audit — every style scored across the 10 domains.
03Build & host — live passports, maintained season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What EU fashion brands need to know about the Digital Product Passport.

What is the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) for fashion?
The EU Digital Product Passport is a regulatory requirement under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). It will require every textile product sold in the EU to carry a machine-readable digital record containing verified data on materials, supply chain, environmental impact, compliance, and circularity. The delegated act for textiles is expected to be adopted in 2027, with mandatory compliance following 18–24 months later — most realistically landing in late 2028 to early 2029.
When is DPP mandatory for fashion brands in the EU?
The EU delegated act for textiles is expected to be published in late 2026 or early 2027. Following an 18-month transition window, mandatory enforcement is targeted for mid-2028. Phase 1 fields (material composition, basic traceability, chemical compliance) will be required first; Phase 2 fields (environmental footprint, circularity) follow.
Are buyers already requesting DPP data before the 2028 deadline?
Yes — in two ways. First, from September 2026, EU Regulation (EU) 2024/825 prohibits unsubstantiated green claims across the EU. Any sustainability claim a brand makes — to consumers, buyers, or platforms — must be backed by verified product data. This applies regardless of the textile DPP deadline. Second, EU retailers and platforms are already integrating supply chain transparency requirements into their buyer terms and supplier qualification processes, ahead of ESPR enforcement. Brands with structured DPP data are better positioned for wholesale access today, not just compliant in 2028.
What is a DPP Readiness Audit?
A DPP Readiness Audit is a structured assessment of a brand's existing production data against the LGFL DPP Data Framework — 10 domains under four ESPR legal-basis categories (identification, product-specific parameters, substances of concern, other Union law) plus a Foundational/System layer (CEN JTC 24). The audit quantifies gaps per category, per domain and per field, and produces a readiness score broken down by ESPR phase.
What is the LGFL DPP Data Framework?
The LGFL DPP Data Framework is a structured data architecture for textile Digital Product Passports — 10 domains nested under the four ESPR legal-basis categories (Annex III + Article 7), sitting on a Foundational/System layer governed by CEN/CENELEC JTC 24 (EN 18219 identifiers, EN 18220 carriers). Status proposed pending the JRC 4th Milestone (expected late 2026) and the textile delegated act. It cross-references the Trace4Value protocol (TrusTrace / GS1 Sweden / SIS, April 2024) — the most granular open industry list to date.
How long does an LGFL DPP Readiness Audit take?
The duration depends on the complexity and size of your collection, as well as the quality and completeness of the data you provide. The audit begins once the data transfer is complete.
Is LG Fashion Labs related to LG Electronics?
No. LG Fashion Labs (LGFL) is an independent Munich-based fashion technology company. The "LG" in our name refers to founder Lior Gabriel Graetz. LGFL has no affiliation with LG Electronics, LG Corp, or any LG-branded consumer electronics or fashion lines.
