HOW IS IT CRAFTED: ultra-thin cork sheets, sliced from premium cork planks, are carefully selected and then hand-assembled and bonded to various supports. Following this, they enter a press, undergo sanding, and finally receive a hand-applied protector with pigments, adding colour and enhancing cork’s natural features. Further insights into the cork fabric manufacturing process can be found here.
We partner with a local Portuguese factory, unlike others who use Portuguese cork but produce elsewhere.
BACKINGS: our flexible manufacturing process makes it possible to offer various options, tailored to your product. Prioritising sustainability, and especially for clothing, we offer Oeko-Tex certified, organic cotton and hemp backing, for 100% plant-based, biodegradable products - setting us apart in the cork fabric industry.
In case synthetic-backed "standard" cork fabric options better suit your preferences, feel free to reach out. We offer a swatch book showcasing all backings options, which you can purchase here.
CORK: renewable and eco-friendly material harvested sustainably without harming trees, with a 9-year regrowth cycle. It’s 100% natural, recyclable, biodegradable, and vegan-friendly. Use it creatively and support this age-old tradition and help preserve our forests!
