Details
Cork fabric, also referred to as cork skin or cork leather, is a premium and eco-friendly material made from thin cork shavings harvested directly from the bark of cork oak trees. Much of its production involves skilled craftsmanship. Cork is derived from the outer bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber L.), making it a 100 percent natural, sustainable, and recyclable resource. From environmental, social, and economic standpoints, cork is considered one of the most versatile materials worldwide.
Cork fabric features a fabric support backing composed of polyester, cotton, and polyurethane, providing it with a luxurious and leather-like feel. Its soft, smooth, and pliable texture makes it a favored choice for various applications, including handcrafted bags, wallets, clothing embellishments, craft projects, applique, embroidery, shoes, and upholstery.
Furthermore, cork is renowned for its durability, aging gracefully over time, similar to traditional leather. It is naturally water- and stain-resistant, ensuring long-lasting quality and resistance to scratches. Choose cork fabric for a sustainable and elegant touch to your projects, knowing that it not only looks good but also aligns with responsible environmental practices.

Note
Cork is a natural material with unique qualities. When crafting cork products, small pieces are hand-assembled, leading to minor gaps, holes, and uneven patterns like watermarks, which are natural tree markings, not defects. Please consider these characteristics before purchasing.
