CORK, THE VEGAN AND ECO-RESPONSIBLE MATERIAL PAR EXCELLENCE

For obvious ecological and animal protection reasons, the use of leather is gradually dying out to make way for new eco-responsible and vegan materials that are increasingly used by designers and major brands._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

Among these materials, one of them stands out with flying colors: cork. This vegan and eco-responsible material, which is found in large quantities in Portugal, has many characteristics that make it widely used in fashion accessories.

WHY CHOOSE CORK TO MAKE BAGS?

Cork is a material with multiple properties that make it the perfect choice for the design and manufacture of fashion accessories in general and bags in particular.

This eco-friendly material is actually the bark of a tree called the cork oak, very present in Mediterranean countries.

The cork is harvested directly from the tree without cutting it down, which is a very important anti-deforestation argument. In addition, this debarking operation takes place only every 9 years, allowing the tree to recover.

During the period of reconstruction of the bark, the tree concerned absorbs 3 to 5 times more CO2 than an intact tree.

Beyond the benefits of cork cultivation on forests and the environment, this material has other advantages that make it an excellent candidate for the manufacture of fashion items and cork bags in particular.

CORK: A LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIAL

Fashion accessories are meant to be worn often by their owner, some for entire days. The weight of each accessory is therefore important.

Cork, on the other hand, is made up of 50% air, which makes it a material of choice for eco-responsible bags which are intended to be worn in different situations and which will also be weighed down by your belongings.

CORK: AN IMPERMEABLE MATERIAL

You probably have some at home, on some glass bottles, corks. This choice is not trivial because cork is a material impermeable to gases and liquids. Its use for cork bags is therefore logical.

 

CORK IS RESISTANT TO ABRASION

The honeycomb structure allows the cork to have a high resistance to friction.

During the life of a cork bag, it will have to rub different surfaces during narrow passages, the presence of crowds or simply when you put your bag on the ground. These different episodes make its resistance to friction a considerable advantage over other materials such as leather.

CORK IS NATURAL AND HYPOALLERGENIC

The absence of chemical treatment of cork makes it a 100% natural and soft material for the skin. You can wear the strap of your cork bag next to your skin on sunny days without fear of having irritation on your shoulder or neck.

THE CORK BAG: AN ETHICAL AND ESSENTIAL FASHION ACCESSORY

A bag in general is essential for any outfit, to go to work, a walk with friends or to do the shopping, there is a companion for every situation.

Cork bags in particular are the best choice for any follower of eco-responsible and ethical fashion 

The natural characteristics of cork such as impermeability, abrasion resistance and fire resistance make it a preferred material for fashion accessories used daily.
