What is Cork and how durable is it?

When we think of cork, it's most often in the form of a wine stopper or office pin broad. But Cork actually has a long history with use in everyday items and its popularity is rapidly increasing with its sustainable and environmental properties becoming much more prominent in our climate-focused society. Cork also has many adventurous properties including water-resistant (hydrophobic), buoyant, elastic and durable. This makes it a perfect material for wallets.

Unlike leather Cork is much more sustainable to harvest and produce with a tiny carbon footprint compared to its leather counterpart. This is due to the fact harvesting cork doesn’t require the destruction of trees and doesn’t promote deforestation. Instead, the trees grow until they’re about 25 years old (when their trunks are wide enough, at about 24 inches), and then the cork is stripped from the tree trunks every nine years. 

Who are Corkor?

34% of global cork forests are found in Portugal so growing up in Portugal, founders Natália and Vítor, asked the simple question. ‘Why isn’t Cork more used in Vegan Fashion’? From here Corkor has built a wonderful foundation of wallets - and other goods - by local artisans in their workshop. They continue to strive for beauty in their designs and produce a range of goods from 

We are very happy to be official retailers of the Corkor range of wallets and their ethos fits perfectly with our own environmentally conscious attitude to sustainability.
