All About Cork

Cork fabric is natural, sustainable, vegan, eco-friendly textile imported from Portugal. Skilled craftsmen peel the bark of the cork oak tree every 10 years or so, dry it, add color and design before sealing the surface and attaching it to a thin piece of fabric. The tree is not harmed and can live over 200 years!

The cork used in my products is similar in durability and feel to leather but it is

  • water resistant

  • stain resistant

  • extremely light weight

  • naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial

It comes in a variety of colors and designs, all of which are applied and sealed during the processing in Portugal.

     

    To care for your cork product, simply wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth as needed. No special conditioners or sprays are necessary.  If necessary, you can also add a bit of Dawn dishwashing soap to your soft, damp cloth.
