Where does the cork on our cork leather come from?

We manufacture our cork leather in Portugal (Algarve), where our cork oaks grow and thrive. By peeling the bark, we obtain the renewable raw material cork. The harvested cork is then boiled and pressed into large cork bales. The cork balls are then peeled to thin cork skins and these are fixed to the carrier material. The actual process of cork extraction is much more expensive and complex. Cork fabric is a natural product derived from renewable sources and is recyclable for many uses.

What can you make from cork fabric?

Our cork fabric is very diverse. You can sew the cork leather with your household sewing machine. Many believe they need an industrial sewing machine, but it is not necessary. It's easy to work with.
